I am interested in a Skoda Yeti as a towcar. As a 4x4 it seems very economical, relatively low on road tax but can pull fairly heavy weights. The 170bhp has a towing limit of 1800kg according to the brochure. Has anyone got any experience of a Yeti? Is it great - or abominable?!
Yeti!

Hello Alistair,
Practical Caravan, December issue, did a comparison test with the Yeti 2.0 TDI 140bhp against a Peugeot 3008 HDi 150. It shows a towing limit of 1600kg, with a kerb weight of 1605kg, noseweight of 75kg. 85% of kerbweight = 1364kg.
The Yeti won the test and was given a good rating as a tow car. However I think you should also consider the Kia Sportage, offers higher kerb weight and is lower in price, I have just purchased a Titan model, but am still awaiting to take delivery in March, so cannot comment further.
Trust this is helpful
Best regards,
George

Highlander, the CR TDi models have mpg of about 46 mpg, that is quite a small eco footprint to my knowledge.
