We test drive the 1.2 yeti at the weekend and as a family runaround it really is quite brilliant smile

Now comes the hard part - I'm not too hot on negotiating and I get the impression there isn't much of a discount to be had on these cars so does anyone have any experience of websites like broadspeed as their discounted prices look very tempting?

Thanks folks I've not heard of d2d so will look them up.

There aren't many deals to be had on the yeti which surprises me.

I wasn't really expecting the car to be up to much despite the reviews but im converted - it does everything so well and the 1.2 lump really caught me out as to how peppy it was.

How do these places like broadspeed work?

Thanks I've just had a look at drivethedeal and th price looks great, basically get an upgrade in spec for free.

I spoke to one skoda dealer today and he didn't offer a discount on a new one (grudgingly talked about 5%) but did offer a 1.4se pre reg on a 61 plate for £15995 which sounded tempting.

I need to read up on1.2 vs 1.4 - since most of the driving will be school runs the 1.4 looks quite poor on urban fuel economy (31mpg vs 38 fo the 1.2).

Food for thought.

Best tactic is to just go to a dealer and say "If you match or better this price then you have a sale today." I've done just that with an Audi dealer last week. I got a good price at a dealer I chose, he got a sale without any messing around.

I looked at the Yeti a while ago though, my money would go on the 1.2tsi in Elegance spec. Nice cars.
Thanks very much for you help (and everyone else) smile

The 1.2 does tick all the boxes and in elegance spec it's fully loaded - my wife is a little unsure and quite likes the golf but it's a close call and I think the yeti is more useful.

Local dealers don't really seem to be interested in providing a price match or getting even close.

I'm happy to buy from the locals but it's difficult to be sympathetic to a dealers price when the market is telling me I can buy cheaper.
