CarWale Track Day 2019: Honda Civic vs Skoda Octavia

The Octavia RS is a full-blown performer that matches the international car except for the adaptive dampers. No, Skoda is not to be blamed here, it's our roads that need a raised suspension. This is the third time that a Skoda has adorned the RS badge, the first being a 150bhp Octavia more than a decade ago and then the Laura which only got stiffer springs.

The Skoda Octavia has been on sale in India for more than three years. With only mild upgrades along the way, newer competition like the new Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla Altis facelift have been stealing its thunder. Finally Skoda has come up with a mid-life facelift and though the changes are subtle, they go a long way in making the Octavia look fresh and current.
