Should I buy a petrol or diesel Skoda Yeti Greenline for short drives and occasional longer journeys?
I would like to buy an economical Yeti Greenline for my last car. I am going to live in a very rural area and I will be doing a short drive most days to find nice walks for me and my dogs. However, I will do occasional longer trips to the nearest large town for shopping or to visit my daughter around 80 miles away, probably an annual total of around 10,000 miles. Would a diesel Greenline be a wise choice for me or would a petrol version be better?

Better the 1.2TSI 105 or 1.4TSI 122.
