The Skoda Yeti is a well-priced 'crossover' alternative to conventional family hatchbacks like the Ford Focus. The majority of Yetis are front-wheel drive, but the raised suspension does mean it’ll venture further off road than most regular cars, while speed bumps in town hold absolutely no fear. All the engines are willing - with the small 1.2 TSI petrol engine not trailing the diesel choices too far on economy. Even entry-level 'E-spec' Yetis come with air-conditioning, although S models add alloy wheels and a knee airbag for a few hundred pounds more. Named Best Family Car in our 2011 Car of the Year awards the Yeti is a brilliant all rounder, and an especially good choice for growing families.
