Buying a Skoda Yeti - which engine is best?
My much loved 1997 BMW 3 Series 2.8i has sadly reached the end of its life and I now need a new car. I am looking to downsize and trade in my car for a new or nearly new Skoda Yeti. However, I can’t decide between the 1.2 or 1.4 petrol engines, what do you suggest?

Yes, obviously a 1.2TSI 105 will feel underpowered after a BMW 2.8i, but will feel new and more lively. Can't price an R reg needing work that is obviously more costly than the car would be worth after the work. I think you have to regard the BMW as sold for spares so worth buttons.
