Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Yeti 77TSI or Roomster 77TSI?

    Evening all,

    A family friend is getting a new family car and as I'm the car 'guru' in my circles, I was asked about a Roomster and a Yeti. The Roomster in my opinion is possible the best family car on the market because of its clever rear seats (as we all know about them I won't go into them), its economical engine, space and value for money. The Yeti looks better, has an extra gear (6-speed manual vs. 5-speed in the Roomster), more ability (especially the 4x4 models) and a lot more standard equipment. Trouble is, the Yeti's boot is a lot smaller, making it less family friendly in my opinion. It's a tough one for me; I'd have a Yeti but I don't have 2 kids (thankfully at 18 ) so I couldn't care less if a pram fits in it or not.

    So guys, what would you have and why? What else would you look at? Yes, they want a manual (she's European).

    Thank you!

    The Roomster would be lighter than the Yeti? And the boot in the Yeti is quite small (like most SUVs)

    How about the Octavia hatch with the 90TSI engine? Cheaper than a Yeti.
    There is also the Fabia Wagon. Load space is much larger than the Yeti.

      For me (2 kids + standard poodle & mountain bikes) it would be a Roomster - providing I fit the the MTBs vertically in without removing the rear wheel. Daughter #1 has always wanted a Roomster.

      I wouldn't discount the Octy Wagon/Hatch or Fabia wagon either. There was a near new 90TSI hatch on carsales the other week for $20k
