Kirsteen O'Sullivan<\/p><\/div>\n

Originally from Fife in Scotland, Kirsteen O’Sullivan\u00a0now lives in Dublin with her husband David who hails from Sligo.\u00a0 A regular face on Xpose, TV3’s fashion and celebrity show, Kirsteen has also presented Xccelerate, TV3’s motoring show and the Champions and Europa League shows.<\/em><\/p>\n

What was your very first car? <\/strong>An electric blue Ford Fiesta, complete with choke and all. It was a great wee motor and I still have very found memories of me zooming around in it<\/p>\n

What do you like about the Yeti? <\/strong>I think practicality is high on the list for me, I load it with surfboards and the dog and there\u2019s still plenty of room. The Yeti is quite sporty and suits my lifestyle. It\u2019s also got a nice bite and is really responsive. I love driving it.<\/p>\n

Any funky features? <\/strong>The built in sat nav is pretty handy, especially when I\u2019m navigating my way around Dublin for shoots. I couldn\u2019t live without it now. It also connects directly to my phone and I can catch up on calls on the road.<\/p>\n

Is there anything you don’t like about the Yeti? <\/strong>There\u2019s nothing I dislike about it actually. It ticks all the boxes for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Describe your style <\/strong>Sporty, classic and sometimes daring, depending on my mood.<\/p>\n

Does this car fit with your style? <\/strong>Yes I think so. Personally, I would never choose a car based solely on appearance. It\u2019s well down the list of priorities but the Yeti really works for me.<\/p>\n

Who would you recommend this car to? <\/strong>Actually I think it would suit so many people. I need a car, which will work for me during the week when I\u2019m rushing around and at the weekend when I\u2019m usually driving to the coast with the surfboards. I suppose anyone that needs a car with flexibility then it\u2019s a great choice. I would also imagine it would be great for a family too as there\u2019s so much space in there and it\u2019s got a superb safety rating.<\/p>\n

What do you never leave home without? <\/strong>My phone.<\/p>\n

Who<\/strong> would be your dream passenger? <\/strong>Matthew McConaughey. No explanation required.<\/p>\n

Ideal road trip for the Yeti?\u00a0 <\/strong>I would love to drive to the Outer Hebrides. It\u2019s in the pipeline but it\u2019s the kind of trip you can\u2019t plan too much as it\u2019s so weather dependent.<\/p>\n

What CD are you listening to in your car?\u00a0 <\/strong>The Yeti is synched to my phone playlist and there\u2019s a right mix on it, from Florence, Marina and the Diamonds, Mr. Scruff to Air.<\/p>\n

Describe the Yeti in three words\u00a0 <\/strong>Practical, fuel efficient and quietly confident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
