Alan B said the trouble with modern cars is they are just too complicated.
Its true: but some things we wouldn't be without: Central locking, electric windows (wife has arthritis in her fingers), climate control (it gets hot here in the summer), auto and safety features. But one thing I have always avoided is a turbo.
Don't know a lot about them but understand they get hot, whizz around at high speed and have lag. So I would always opt for a larger engine and no turbo. Ideal engine size for me is 1.6L injected which in a small body has excellent acceleration. Less fuel economy doesn't matter with 4K a year miles.
Seems the 4X4 Yeti will only be available for "outdoor models" in the future Keith. Be quite an expensive vehicle me thinks.
