2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e S Manual Santorini Black

Hmm. I see from Skoda's website that there id a basic 'Yeti' and there's a 'Yeti Outdoor'

Presumably the basic model is for indoor use only and turns to rust immediately if you take it outdoors?!

Sorry, but as a life-long lover of Skoda jokes I couldn't resist having a dig.

well yes, you buy a car to meet your needs, and if that includes the fact that it can accommodate your dog then so be it.

I agree with that. When we went from a FL2 to an Evoque, the first thing we checked before even test driving one was whether the dog crate fitted in the back. It did - just! We wouldn't have put our dog in a smaller crate or left her loose in the back. If it was a no-go, we'd have looked at something else. The dog spends more time in the car than myself or my wife do individually! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

That is cheap motoring-I wish I'd seen that when I was looking. I hope that doesn't mean they are desperate to shift them and mine is now worth half what I paid for it. One of the FL2's biggest assets is the resale value as they get older. I've sold three privately between 5 and 9 years old within 4 days of listing on Ebay. Typical depreciation was £1400/year which is the best I have had on anything I have owned. I don't mind the Yeti but I really miss the FL2

2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

What I should really like to see is a "Yeti +2" like Nissan do with their Qashqai. The deal-breaker for me with the Yeti is the lack of room behind the back seats. If I can't carry two full sets of golf clubs and electric trolleys then I don't want the car! Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne
