35.

The Wife told me we were starting a family so we'd need a family car. So I had to decide whether to replace her Micra or my MX5.

She's looking forward to getting the Yeti, so everyone's happy! :)

I am VERY YOUNG acting 33 (going on 15). Love all things fresh and funky. I've always wanted a 1960s mustang or a big ford bronco!! I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that I'm buying a Skoda from years of jokes at school about the brand...My friends think I'm nuts but there's just something about this little chunky motor that appeals...

Is it just me or do a lot of Yeti owners / prospective owners on the forum seem to be in their mid thirties? Interesting.

Yes, it is very interesting - and I don't have kids...

LOL! Neither do we (yet!), but we need one practical car, and the Yeti is so much better/more interesting than a Golf/A3. It's not an MPV or a run of the mill estate car. I love the way it looks and drives. We've just got to wait another three weeks! :doh:

Aqua Blue - cos it is not silver! Elegance - cos it has all the bits. Sound system upgrade - cos with advancing years comes the creeping deafness! 170bhp oiler - cos i like a bit of poke at little cost of economy! Yeti - cos i got fed up being snowed in in mid-Wales, being above the snow-line! And because this car gives me performance, economy, and internal space for guitars, speakers, amps, change of clothing, sleeping bag, shoes, deodorant, toothbrush, and last weeks newspaper! Bring it on (ordered Friday at Sinclair Skoda - great people).

I wondered in a previous post if the SMOC was representative of the UK Yeti owning population given the distribution of ownership between 4wd and 2wd c60:40 against Skoda's predicted share IIRC of 70% 2wd (and of course Skoda's market research could be wrong too!).
Another slight surprise to me is the percentage of owners electing Elegance spec, as the SE at £2k less is virtually as well specced as an Octavia Elegance. I guess a factor is that Yeti Elegance is good value, and with the smaller engines in particular simply a lot of car and spec for the money. Nevertheless Elegance still requires a considerable outlay.
I think the higher spec models were launched first so it would be interesting to see if the profile changes over time, or whether SMOC members like to treat themselves!

I think that the elegance is good value if certain types of kit are wanted as they are collectively cheaper than up specking a lower specification car. The 17CR is not available in anything other than Elegance, this might change the tilt.

It has been my feeling that Skoda UK did not do a very good market research, a bit like some other things that they have done. I think that the balance of Yeti owners on this Forum at least, is older than what might have been predicted.

Interestingly, a couple of the dealers I spoke to when looking at Yeti's said that it was bringing a younger demographic of interested people into the showroom than they had been traditionally used too.

38, two kids, 1.2tsi Yeti on order, first ever Skoda. How disappointing I fit straight into the demographic - and here I was thinking I was being different!
