Skodas now come with a lifetime under body protection, but always best to check it for chips etc
Skodas now have great street cred, and prices have generally started to increase over the last few years.
In Dec last year we bought a new a yeti Greenline, not the 4x4 one as we wanted the better fuel economy, these are well buit cars as indeed are all the range.

Do you have a spare wheel or the gunge repair kit?

jims-terrano · 26-03-2015, 22:12

Proper spare wheel

I nearly bought a 2 1/2 year old Roomster Greenline but ended up buying this for not a great deal more. Found the Greenline had a kind of pause between pressing the pedal and something actually happening.

Our Greenline has the 1.6 Hdi 105 hp engine, so is quite responsive, but it has taken a while for the engine to loosen up, at first it struggled to get in the top 40s mpg But now with 4500 miles on the clock it easily returns 52+ mpg with the same driving style.
I am told it will be even better after 12k.

Ahh different engine to the Roomster Greenline, thats a 1.2tdi with 3 pots.
Have you been on any of the Skoda forums? Still not a patch on this one.

I'm on the Briskoda one, http://www.briskoda.net/forums/index.php?

and the Yeti owners, and they only seem to discuss all things Skoda... it is not a place you could ask a question like which computer is best, or what socks are best.
There is some useful information, but not a place that I could single out any particular member like we do on here.
This is still the greatest forum.

Glad you have it at very long last

remember let the turbo cool down before switching the engine off to gain some extra life out of it
