The other thing I like about the Yeti, especially when you compare it to other cars of the same class, is that it actually has some character. From the awesome name, to those big round lights.
Well like pretty much the entire Skoda lineup, it's great value for money. And for dad it's just what he needs right now for a work car with high ride, lots of space and yet not too huge for the roads where he work, and a bit tough to not wear down quickly. Plus a Skoda works really great for the image in our company. A lot of other 4WD cars wont work, and a pickup is out of the question for several reasons. Talking about Skoda though, I way too in love with the current Superb
Re: John Bishop... He seemed to become popular last year, so if you don't want the stand up shows or a lot of the comedy panel stuff it's easy to have missed him. Though he has had a show on BBC One recently.
My only question is does Sienna Miller come standard, or is she an option? Also, regarding Top Gear and Mythbusters, I have thought many, many times that Jamie Hyneman and James May would get along extremely well.
They have a Fabia RS at the local dealer. I love the green color on it, and 180 bhp in a 1100 kg car is not too bad. And it's pretty practical.
I'm warming up to small cars after having a Volvo C30 as a work car for two months now. Great little car.
Excuse me, but... There's a lot of sensible car talk about sensible cars going on here. In a Top Gear thread, need I remind you. You people sicken me.
I've really been thinking about a C30 as my next car.. Can you give me some thoughts about it? I drive about 100 miles a day and need something that will hold up. It gets comparable gas mileage to what I drive now, a Saturn Vue and I like the looks of it.
The TG team have just won best Factual Program at the 2011 National TV Awards. For non UK people Country file is a TV show that has just lost a court case for sacking a older female presenter.
The quality is awesome. Both interior and exterior. Seats are very comfy and mileage and power is awesome. Should however be noted that I drive the D2, as in the smallest diesel without the start/stop function, and I saw that in the US only the T5 engine is available (I'm assuming your in the US), which is is the top of the line motor around here. But let me tell you, my diesel has about 115 bhp and is very torquehappy in the lower range, and it is a blast to drive. Always have the power when you want it and since you got the wheels almost in every corner and it's a bit low and wide, it just sticks. The stability control on this car is amazing. there's a long, low curved bridge on the way to work and when it was really slippery I was able to go sideways on the bridge and still be in control. I can only imagine that the T5 with it's more even torque curve and almost double the horsepowers is a hell of a fun car. Overall the entire car in any configuration (except for the smallest petrol engine here in EU) is great value for money. My view on Volvo as a car maker has completely changed to the better while I've driven this car. That being said, yes this is the Top Gear thread. So more talk about growling V8s and RWD!
Damn.. I think you just sealed the deal for me.. I LOVE to drive and here in New Mexico we have lots of great stretches a car like that would love to take... Time to start convincing the wife that our tax refund this year would be put to good purposes by replaceing my Vue, which just topped 204,000 miles.
