Shall do. Infact I'm going away next week, so will let it soak for a week.
The beast!
I should explain, that this has not been bought and has actually been sort of given / inherited.

Not exactly avant garde is it!
I had a surprise delivery this evening from a mystery person. An envelope was put through the letter box and inside were these.
Mandarin red citroen touch up paint and clear coat.
A little note said " A gift from an ex Citroen owner! not sure if it is any good - discard if not! "
So if you're on here mystery post person. Thank you.

Why?
Nothing wrong with a Yeti, but unless you need the soft roader capacity, why swap?

Absolutely nothing wrong with a Yeti. Remember a certain Clarkson with a tattooist and 'victim' in the back seat, riding more comfortably than a Range Rover (allegedly).
My turn to own up, too...

So is this a general pattern for Citroen owners... a sensible German or Japanese option, just in case!
Nice Yeti Rob. Like it.

The Volvo is on a lease. It's time is up. New employer means no lease car so having to spend my own money. Need more space in the back for my mother and more practicality. I have been using the XM for lots of rather messy and junky jobs simply because it is my biggest car.
The Yeti is something a bit quirky yet sensible. It is pretty full fat, no blank switches!
I do 25,000 mile per annum in my main car and typically spend 2.5 hours plus a day driving, I like my creature comforts.
