What's a bright red Yeti? How do you pick one up and press its buttons? 

Its a Skoda:

It replaces a French built item that required the timing chain to be replaced every 18 months. The last bill was just under £1K and that was for chain No3!

Had to replace my timing chains once (in 20 years of ownership - it's a V8 so there are 2 of them), but the car is 37 years old - they don't make 'em like they used to.
Didn't the Yeti come out tops for User Satisfaction in a recent motoring journal survey, with the Skoda Superb 2nd? In Tenerife many Taxi drivers have now swapped their Mercs for Skodas for better reliability and cheaper running costs.

Got a German friend who works in the auto industry in Stuttgart ... he's just bought a Skoda estate - says it's exactly the same as the VW Passat, save a few minor detailing details, at a considerably cheaper price! Looked lovely when I saw it.

Long gone are the days of Skoda jokes! ... That said, wouldn't mind to hear one, just for a laugh

Well, OK, as you asked so nicely -

Q: What do they call a Skoda with a sunroof?

A: A skip!

Nothing like that now. Really nicely made. Great dealership here as well.

 Thanks for the laugh daveg and FeelixTC 

Agreed - nice cars these days!

[Bob Tidbury]

Why do Skodas have heared rear screens ?

To keep your hands warm when your pushing them.



My mates got the top of the range Estate If I won the pools I be down the Dealers now to beg them to get me one NOW they are fantastic very fast but very economical the Diesel engine is also very smooth .

VW own Skoda - which is why the quality and reliability has gone up and some of the parts are shared between VW and Skoda models.

I went in to Halfords the other day. I said I'd like an air freshener for my Skoda. The guy said that sounds like a fair swap, handed me an air freshener and took the keys from me!

The radio probably comes with its own manual...!

I'm on my 3rd Octavia estate - the first 2 being company cars. Not as comfy as the Citroens I had previously, but pretty indestructible (he says, crossing fingers...) and a huge boot. Highly recommended.
