Advice on a tow car - Yeti or CR-V?
I have a leased A4 Avant 9 - my 4th - that is going back at end of Aug 2011.
I will not be doing the high mileage, 30,000 per year in the future as I will be semi retired - probably around 10,000 per year instead.
I need a car that will take most of my windsurfing kit inside, carry bikes etc on a tow ball. I could buy the A4 at the end of the lease or just get another - I am wondering about going for something different e.g. a Honda CR-V or a Skoda Yeti.

Yes, I like the Skoda Yeti 1.8TSI 160 4WD:

But, having had too much damage done by towhooks on the backs of cars I am actively campaigning to get them banned unless folded away or actually towing something.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
