19. The Yeti exterior rear view mirrors can't electrically fold. Unlike on other Skodas you do NOT get electrically folding mirrors when you get the £500 electric driver's seat.

Another update needed? Great list by the way... :thumbup:

After contacting Auto Express, Skoda UK have stated that they will now consider requests to 'downgrade' (their words not mine) the 17" alloys with 225/50 profile tyres found on higher specification Yeti's in the UK, to 16" alloys and 215/60 profile tyres on the proviso that the vehicle order is not subsequently cancelled.

See Auto Express issue 1,191 (Nov 2011).

Which specification to go for is obviously a matter of personal taste, however I went the 16" route as for me the ride comfort (particularly on poorly surfaced rural roads), feedback from the steering and levels of grip are better with the 16" set-up. Additionally the choice of tyre available in the 215/60 R16 profile is much wider, including tyres more suitable for 4x4 vehicles and off-road use.

I base the above point of veiw from driving a 2009 Yeti 140 4x4 SE over 10,000 miles on 17" 225/50 Goodyear Excellence tyres, compared with a 2011 Yeti 110 4x4 Elegance 8,000 miles on the 215/60 R16 Continental PremiumContact2 tyres.

'The Yeti exterior rear view mirrors can't electrically fold. Edit: as of sometime in the middle of 2010 all Elegance spec Yeti's now get electrically folding mirrors as standard regardless of you ordering the electric seat or not.'

I have a 2011 build Elegance without electric seat and I cannot fold the door mirrors electrically :(

Apologies. It should read from the middle 2011! Doh. I've fixed it AGAIN!
