If you get a Yeti, apparently you need to avoid the 1.8TSI, 4X4 and the panoramic roof. I have a Yeti with all three of them and after 2+ years of fixing inherited issues it is finally all good. The Yeti Owners Club forum always bitch about the pan roof but mine is fine. The 1.8 TSI is the thirstiest in fuel but more importantly oil. Now that I've had new springs, struts, drop links, lower control arms, new water pump and clutch it's all good.

I thought there was a sprightliness to your gait, recently.

1.8TSI
Presumedly this is the same engine used across the VAG range that shits its timing chain around the 80k mark. Lots of MK2 (facelift) Octavia's avaliable cheap with this engine, and you rarely see them above 100k.
