Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

The question is why did I put so much information about Yeti now? simple answer I have a Skoda Yeti@Home color is Matto Brown and model is Elegance. Some pictures of my Yeti.

At service center, ready for delivery,[first yeti, yet to be registered by RTO, they need a trade certificate for yeti and its need to be registered at RTO by dealer for a new launch then only they can sale a vehicle!]

Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

Congratulations Pramod. I too got the delivery of my Yeti on 7th December. It got registered on the same day at RTO Pune.

I have since driven more than a 1,000 km. You can find my experience with the car thus far on the following thread

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...ml#post2162995

It's a great car. Wishing you safe driving - that's full of fun.

Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

Congrats on the purchase Pramod. One question that I have been asking all the Yeti owners here.

Can 5 people (full size in weight and height) sit comfortably in the Yeti? To draw an analogy, is the Yeti's interior space as spacious as your Scorpio's?

Finally, why did you sell your Scorpio and for how much? You could PM me if you don't want to answer it here.

Five full grown adults can sit comfortably in the Yeti. Compared to Scorpio, which was owned by our office (and in which I travelled extensively), the Yeti has much more leg room, and the width is quite similar.

In fact my family (including a very fussy 6 foot teenager) and my colleagues too find Yeti to be more spacious than Scorpio - and definitely way more comfortable.

Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

Congrats pramods. Have a rockin time with the car. It is certainly raining Yetis on Team-BHP . Looks like Skoda has a winner here in-spite of all the gripes people had about its size. I am glad that the Indian market is maturing !!

Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

Thanks all, Scorpio is gone, even though no major trouble recently but it was having one or more minor troubles that used to keep me more at service center every weekend. After Leh incident Scorpio was never the same, I would always find some or other fault and finally decided to part away. I must admit Mahindra support was good throughout.

Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

Pramod, good to see that you have Yeti at home.

However, sad to see scorpio gone. I was one, following all your updates on Scorpio, being one of the first 2010 model.

Can you share with me the issues you were facing with Scorpio and how much did you sold it for (PM would do) ? I am in the queue to buy Scorpio 4WD AT sometime soon.

Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

Hi Pramod, congrats on the new buy. Looks awesome in the Matto Brown shade.

A word of caution though... Please post a detailed report on the vehicle (which we all are waiting for), or else there is a possibility of mods intervention and prematurely close the thread

Happy driving!

Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

Buying and owing experience of the Skoda Yeti, I liked Yeti since 2008 but there was no sign of it getting launched in India anytime soon went ahead with mHawk AT 4x4, but sometime the things are not meant for you and same happened with 4x4 AT and me, out of 11 month I had this mHawk, 4 months where spent at service center first for the small accident and then with AT failure at Leh. Family including me lost faith in the vehicle, even though Mahindra service support was good and they made every effort to make it happen, but the feel of the new vehicle getting so much problem and at places where you expect it to perform it failed on me. The failure was one thing but the paint and repaint was other reason that meant it was never meant for me. After repaint each and every part seems like a old car!!
Repainting a old car has a good feeling, but repainting a new car is not the same, and that too I saw each and every part stripped and redone.

Then come Yeti and the old love of 2008 was back, went to service center for a demo but there was not demo and booked it with a promise of getting delivery in first week of March 2011. After 2 weeks I get a call if I wish I can get the first Yeti delivered, I was like what? I told the Sales Manager that I want to see the vehicle first, he agreed, I went to stock yard to see the vehicle [Will upload the images later of the stock yard] noted the VIN and other information and returned back to complete the other required formality.
On 7th and 8th Dec waited for the RTO formalities, but later realized that Skoda Nagpur sales need to get a new trade certificate fro RTO and then only they will register the vehicle, went ahead and got the delivery on 9th and still waiting for the registration number[ though the RTO formality is done, last minute change of mind about registration number, I want 2 digit number "80" for Yeti now]

The dealer delivery experience before booking was not good but after booking till delivery they were helpful, I still doubt the serviceability of Skoda, but will see it when it will happen.

Coming back to driving experience, coming from an AT vehicle I needed lot of adjustments in driving and on this Yeti has a tendency to stall as you leave the accelerator in higher gears, first couple of days I used to stall a lot but now I have got a better feel of when I need to use the clutch and lower the gears, I believe this is problem, but if the gears indicator are used judiciously then this can be avoided.

The gear indicator is a good feature, and if followed properly gives a better FE. Music system is good but Columbus with GPS and Video would have been great and same goes with the Bluetooth phone system, I am not sure why Skoda removed these feature from Indian version.

Good :
Its a car!
Love the sitting position and adjustment allowed, the rear system too have lot of knee space
Engine, its pulls like anything
Fit and Finish
Bad :
Lack of Instrumentation, GPS, Bluetooth
Auto light, follow home and Xenon lights
No front Mud flap, even not available as accessory


Problems till date, at second refill the fuel gauge as showing 3/4 full and the tank attendant said tank is full, I was about the fight with him but good sense prevailed and I myself checked the diesel at tank and calculated the expected quantity and the attended was right, the tank was FULL, but the indicator was showing 3/4 full only. After driving for almost 20 kms the tank started to show FULL, I am not sure if there is some problem or should I wait for another tank full or complain it to Service center, I hope this is not a major problem and it might be just one off incident of self calibration!

Have done almost 900kms, the FE as per tank to tank is 15.5kmpl this includes 50:50 of bumper to bumper city driving and high way driving,I will wait till I get the registration number and smart card before I drive out. I am paying the RTO for the choice of number and is expected to get the allotment of number with in a week.



I have purchased all the Skoda Service manual from Skoda, if anyone want to buy Service Manual [workshop] of Skoda and see all the detailed feature of your own Skoda registered and pay at this official Skoda site and get the PDF document downloaded

Re: Skoda Yeti@ India

About your fuel needle taking time to move up. Next time filling up turn off your car completely, and then when you turn it on it should show full.
