Skoda Yeti wins Best Family Car at 2009 Top Gear Awards

The new Skoda Yeti has won the Best Family Car award at the 2009 Top Gear Awards 

Summing up the Yeti, reviewer Bill Thomas said: “The car has been superbly designed by Jozef Kaban and his team in Prague and stands out on the road... It’s not too heavy, has a range of effective and efficient engines and transmissions and is decently equipped. It is also beautifully made in typical Skoda/Volkswagen style, and is practical and spacious without being too big or unwieldy on the road. It is, in short, a winner.”

Thomas is convinced the Yeti will go down well with its target market. “This car will be a big hit with the thousands of British families who are sure to buy it and the big load capacity will be a major part of the appeal,” said Thomas. “But the quality that really grew on me was the thing’s character. I can imagine ‘the Yeti’ becoming an immediate hit with young families. ‘Let’s take the Yeti’. ‘We’re going in the Yeti’. It’ll be another member of the family in no time.”
