I'd like to find a new car similar to the 2011 Skoda Yeti. Can you recommend anything?
Asked by Anna
I have a second-hand 2011 Skoda Yeti. It suits me perfectly, with its quality seat, in a high position so that I can see the front of the car, its small size, usable boot etc, but it has been having engine trouble. I'd like to find a new car with similar tall-yet-small features that I know is reliable. I don't need 4WD, but don't want a plastic car and probably can't afford a VW. Can you suggest anything?

9 Aug 2022The reality in 2022 is that just about every car-maker has an SUV in its range. Many of these will have the high seating position you require and they’re often available with a choice of diesel or petrol power (some even offer hybrid drivelines) and the option of two or four-wheel-drive, so you’re not buying more car than you need.
There are plenty of options in the small and compact SUV category, so the best advice is to hit the dealerships and find the one that suits your budget, your requirements and has the level of quality look and feel you prefer.
The South Korean brands are doing some clever things in this class of car right now, and along with good value (compared with some established brands) they also offer brilliant warranties which give great peace of mind. For an even better value-for-money experience, a three or four-year-old SUV can be pretty sharp buying, too. Just make sure the service history is intact.
