I've never thought that Jeremy would ever present Czech car, let alone praise it. Even though I have little reason to, it makes me little proud in patriotic sort of way.
I had an '85 Skoda Rally 1200. It had a comprehensive owner's manual which explained how to machine your own spare parts or modify those of a passing tractor if need be.
I bought the Yeti after watching Jezza's review and after 6 years and 96k kms on the clock, the Yeti still manages to put a smile on my face everytime I get behind the wheel...Certainly has to be one of the best and most reliable cars that Skoda has ever produced
+Ikreisrond I'm not trying to argue with you.. I also feel like this review is too good to be true.. But do you really think the BBC needs extra money to do something like this?
I saw the tattoo in a car thing in either Jackass Dirty Danchez or the Dudesons one of them shoes before it's probably Steve o but the tattoo was a smiley face it looked terrible
Can you get Sienna Miller in the glove box? Let's find out. Jeremy Clarkson - Sienna are you in there? Sienna Miller - Yeah. J - Are you comfortable? S - Very. J - Marvelous. Good bye. A good mark for the Yeti there!
This is one of those cars you have to drive to know what everyone is on about. I'll agree it doesn't look great from the back and overall might look a little outdated, but after a quick test drive, you'll fall for it if you're in the market for a small, but spacious car that is also fairly economical. After testing some other cars which all had their bad points, the Yeti instantly felt like the right choice for me. Great car.
I remember this skit and spotting the helicopter pilot, recognising him from my then local. Brilliant chap who had time for all. His son Q was a cracking fellow too.
Man I love these guys so much. They will do some of the craziest things to see how good cars and drivers are. Very entertaining outside of the car aspect too. My favorite thing is how when he sees that Sienna is in there, and comfortable, he merely says "marvelous, goodbye" and shuts her back in XD Funny as hell!!
Had an old ratty one from early production, high mileage when I got it but it took me off road all over, including a playfully mobile river (back end started to float with the current, water up above the wheels - don't ask how I didn't hydro lock it as I don't know). I parted with the old one many months ago and missed it greatly as many owners have missed theirs, so I'm picking up a newer model today to replace the Octavia Scout I'd bought to replace the Yeti. The out of spec but legal offroad tyres I'd put on my old Yeti on cheap 16" steel wheels will be going on the newer one, once I've taken them off the Scout. Same size Darkside Developments put on their Yeti but slightly less square tread so no arch scrub even on the Scout which is interesting, as they pretty much fill its arches. Incredible road car on a budget the Yeti, surprisingly good off road when feeling fruity and excellent on snow/ice on good tyres with the Haldex system (110 quid a corner Michelin all terrain tyres, which hurt as a Yorkshireman living in Scotland at the time but they stick like the proverbial to everything and after 30k miles over all terrain, they've only lost 2mm tread with another 8 to go - but put 20 quid ditch finders on any car and you may as well have bought a 50 quid skateboard). I guess the Yeti was too good to continue production after 2017 as folk didn't want to part with them stuck in the brand new car for 3 years nonsense before switching up (my first was already abused and needed more spending than it was worth whereas the new one is in showroom condition) - I've read countless comments from folk wishing they'd kept their Yeti rather than part exchanging for a Karoq or similar and new comments keep on coming the same even today 6 years after production ceased. My old one was a 140 DSG, the new one is 170 manual which is similar to the Scout with its older PD engine mapped to 170 without illegal exhaust mods. The 170 Yeti will map similarly to 220 after Xmas if I feel like it but I'm just happy to be getting back in a Yeti again. Even as a daily road car they're more comfortable than anything I've known before and at half the price of the big names while actually built better with indicators that you can use to inform other drivers of your intentions, too (fancy that eh?) - they're built like a tank which is probably why production ceased due to lesser profit. Even my ratty 140 often out-ran the pretty boys in their shiny ego-mobiles on finance (as the ratty Scout has done too with its tired crunchy old PD engine) so the 170 is going to be pleasing given it sticks like hell with the Haldex and my favourite tyres. Genuinely superb cars regardless of flippant humour above, built above their price range and that's why if you can a properly decent one you should go for it - make sure there's good timing belt history and that the Haldex has been serviced properly as per Haldex/Borg Warner manufacturer spec, not VW/Skoda spec which had led to many premature pump failures... and that's what I've made sure with my new one. :D
That was brutal!!! Yeti has been one of the car on my list of small SUV I'd like to have. It doesnt look bad, it has good power and it is very practical.
It's segments like this that showed by Top Gear UK was untouchable in it's writing and presentation, The Grand Tour was very very okay but never got close to stuff like this.
Look how carefully that helicopter pilot in the R22 helicopter is trying to land on top of the Skoda yeti with Jeremy Clarkson driving it First attempt of cause made the pilot to abort landing On its Second attempt he’s succeeded and finally lands the helicopter on top of the Skoda
I recommended Yeti to a friend of mine who wanted a BMW. Eventually he bought a Skoda Superb. Not a bad choice at all. Cheaper than a BMW, and still as robust as a Skoda can be. And looks good. And has the glove of metal on the bonnet. (Metal musicians, eh.)
The Skoda yeti is the 1st car ive learned to drive in. I was 12 when i learned to drive it, used my grandmas which had the FWD 5 speed manual 111hp spec in brown color. I have never seen a car this brilliant and bulletproof, i am now 15 years old. Bravo Skoda for making this absolute brilliant car, i will never forget this car ever in my life
My 1993 Skoda Favorit still lives and works like a charm, I sold it to one of my friends and still see it :) And that's a Czech Skoda :D not even German..

We got our used, needs work Skoda Yeti about a year ago and I'm doing nothing put taking care of the old girl because we all love it so much. Why Skoda stopped making these is beyond me.
There is no bar across the regulator. The regulator is fully visible when you take down the inside part of doors on all octavias. Its actually almost the same as on your BMW E46.
kaplego I don't think so because he says in the video that the inside temperature is somewhere between 10 and 20, if that were Fahrenheit he would be freezing. And anyway, the tip of a flame from a torch is around 600 degrees C, enough to melt aluminium. The tires would've burst at around 70 degrees and at 900, all the aluminium would have dripped off the car immediately. Don't get me wrong, I love Top Gear, but I really don't approve of the way they fake almost everything they do.
well it's probably because the environment was at 900 degrees and the car didn't have time to heat up to a temperature that would be destructive for it, it only drove through for a bit.
kaplego An efficiënt flame produces heat of around 600 degrees c, as I said. Normal fire is around 250 - 300 degrees. You are right about the time it would need to heat the car up, but scientifically it just isn't possible that it is anywhere near 900 degrees in there
When they raced the Yeti against the Ferrari, I couldn't help but think of the test Car & Driver did in 1991 between the GMC Syclone and a Ferrari 348t. The GMC pickup truck won in a quarter mile race :) and that race was entirely on pathement - no gravel traps.
Doesnt matter, it is the same car (platform and engine wise). Only the body and badges are changing. Yeti is based on platform pq35 which is used in a mk5 golf, mk2 octavia, mk3 toledo or even audi tt.
I have Yeti 1.2 TSI with GSD shaft I am utterly satisfied with its performance except Siena Miller in the glove compartment (lol). It is the best SUV crossover money can buy. The only drawback with the car is the limited space in the trunk.
You think so? I'm in a formula racing team, my teammates drive e.g. VW Golf, BMW 5 series, Toyota Avensis, Mini Clubman, and pretty much all of them are "a bit" jealous for me having a Skoda Octavia, which was much cheaper, never needed repairs until now, and still can transport anything they can transport... Skoda is not the car to buy when you want to sine with the best style, but it's a great car and I feel happy to have one
I've never thought that Jeremy would ever present Czech car, let alone praise it. Even though I have little reason to, it makes me little proud in patriotic sort of way.
Skoda is not Czech anymore, consider it as a German manufacturer since VW owned it.

It can never be over 900 degrees in there, and by the way, you can see the ice cream melting. Anyway, the Skoda is amazing!
Of course the ice cream will melt. At 18.7 degrees Celsius it will melt, but relatively slowly, at a pace which doesn't stop you enjoying eating it.
900 in fahrenheit I would think
