Sounds like a deal brewing...you like them, Z has one...😉 I dont have it yet. I have the finance in place, but I dont have the wagon yet or my name on the V5 and until that happens all bets are off |

Quite like the Yeti as a tow car. But as long as there's just the two of us (or we want a heavier 'van than the Xplore) in which case the Berlingo's gross train weight Achilles heel doesn't matter then not a decision that needs making.
Any car would be a manual though. No time for Satan's shift stick never mind paddles.

I'm ambivalent really about auto versus manual. I still quite like driving a manual for just pottering about, but give me a long day in the car and I'll take an auto every time.

I like the look and idea of the Yeti. Can't persuade Espadrille to go anywhere near a Skoda though, even though it would suit her life style perfectly. She is ambivalent to the auto/manual issue. Me? - auto all the time, unless its a short speedy drive with lots of bends and a very snickety box (Mazda MX5 or Ford Escort Mk1 come to mind).

Well, you know the Up, Citigo, Mii thingies? I think the Citigo is the funkiest looking one.

I'd happily have a Citigo or an Up. I don't understand why they bother with the Seat version. Who's it for?

Odd styling though on some Skodas, better on others. Fabia hatch looks well proportioned, particularly when a two tone paint job is specified, Fabia estate conversely looks clumsy to my eye. Octavia hatch is bland in my view but the estate looks neat and well styled. Superb saloon looks OK, albeit in a very conservative way, but the estate looks too long for its width to me. As mentioned before the Citigo looks the most pleasing of the three brand variants to me. Yeti is a bit Marmite, but I think it pretty much works despite clashing a bit with that toothy Skoda signature radiator grille.
I do wonder if VAG are keen to try ensure that VWs are generally prettier than Skodas and Seats, and that Audis are prettier still model sector for model sector. It certainly seems that way and in most, if not all cases they manage that. I think it's a part of the brand separation thing and an attempt to add value without adding much if any cost to the more expensive models.
Fair enough, seems to work for them if it is the case.

1. Skoda Octavia estate does look better - revised Octavia due in 2017 to make it more like the Superb.
2. Superb is a hatchback or estate - it's a bit big for me but better looking than the Passat.
3. New Yeti due.
4. The Kodiaq looks good. You didn't mention that.

It's a 5 or 7 seater SUV. It will compete with the VW Tiguan XL.  |
