Would take that FD2 anyday.the 1.8 I-vtec manual with that futuristic dash which still looks so relevant.Damn those days when honda gave us such good toys
Another thing off with the Civic(besides the cvt gearbox) is it's pricing which seems to be a tad bit overpriced whereas the Octavia's pricing seems justified if we look at how it performs...however what worries me is it's after sale services and maintenance cost but it shouldn't worry a petrolhead I guess 😊
Remembering back in 9th standard when my pal had the Octavia pick him up from school daily while we were kicking our scooties , this car speaks class it sure does.
Let Honda bring their Turbocharged VTEC to India and then have audacity to compete with Octavia for now it'll stay second fiddle. And I'm sure Rohan will have tears of joy on his face that day 😁
Octavia offering much much powerful engine , a big smile on your face when you leave everyone else behind in the road , one of the best in world solid build quality , features like panaromic sunroof , memory seat and memory adjustment for orvms , automatic hands free parking , quickest shifting dsg gearbox and all civic has over Octavia maybe sportier looks I still don’t understand how it is a competition ?
1.8L turbo charged + 7 speed DSG Vs 1.8L (gimiky) ivtec + CVT for almost the same price! and for more enthusiastic ppl there is VRS offered with 2L 225 Hp and now with RS245 is available in India whereas Honda never gives us enthusiastic engines like K20 or type R with k20c or just a 1.5 turbo atleast as an option! They are providing only the R series engines which are for economy and not the real VTEC! So Skoda is the way to go! I think Honda must think more than naturally aspirated engines and Activa in our country and provide few better offers to enjoy the car!
What do u mean by 1.8L gimmicky engine? It's an ENGINE. And that motor is tried and tested for over 10 years. Sure it's an NA and down on power but that thing would last way more than a tsi from vag.
@@pranavp386 I meant it's not the real i-VTEC it's economy version of variable valve timing which has the additional cam profile only on intake side.. It's also an SOHC which is way too outdated for 2019 car! When you say it's tried and tested..it used to have cracks on the aluminum engine block itself in 2006-2009 models of this engine! Honda silently issued replacement without issuing notice to it's costumers! It's not a issue with some sensor or a bug! It's a ****** engine block! And again after several years they are putting the same engine to Indian market! Maybe that issue is solved now! But the international market gets a better product 1.5L Turbo for that price with a 6speed manual! Pakistan is getting it I believe! But not us! Accord gets 2.4L DOHC R24 which has gasket issues during VTEC applications! They need to move on and provide better engines for that price! Sadly we can't use these engines for turbo builds because of its build in stock form itself! Another thing is Honda India knows that if looks are good engine doesn't matter in India.

Great video pd. Call me nostalgic, I love old civic more than any sedans till date. In current scenario, octavia is the best. Seems like sedans will be forgotten soon in India. Thanks for bringing it up!!!
on Octavia, everything looks good apart from split headlight design. I've observed on the roads, more than 50% of Octavia led lights get defused after sometime(stage between indicator and DRL). I am sure Skoda is aware of this issue. Honda Civic loses the charm or what can i say "it does not have old Civic DNA" and Heavy chrome nose design looks weird.
I can so relate with every emotions these cars hold for us 90s kids. Truly they were the dreams of every child then. If I get a chance of owning the first gen Skoda Octavia vRS, I will oblige blindfoldedly
Everytime when i feel something on indian automotive Tenhut speaks about it in end of the videos! likewise plenty of videos before.....hot hatches are leaving indian market.....(no one's winning coz we're all losing) Abarth punto! Now Sedans are dying...Get better roads..... not Adapting to bad roads with suv's......SAVE SEDANS! Good Cars for great life!!! Love you PD.
I begged my dad to upgrade and buy the civic (older generation) and since then its a love affair i cant grow tired off ( been 8 year and still i love it everytime i see it 😍😍
If we talk about everyday usage we nor need neither expect such excellence in handling like the new Civic and even the new Civic does feels like out of the Honda Legacy no better petrol engine doens't feels as peppy performance alike the older Honda generation but talking about Skoda Octavia the car still maintains it luxury and quality like its comfort, space, better equipped and great torque output experience and better overall quality not like hard plastics found on all Honda cars... Therefore the conclusion is Octavia still manages to maintain its position and worth paying, but the new Civic has just spoiled it's style statement and the amount of respect or position which old Civic maintained in last decade
Premium Sedans rule the highways and mountain twists! Be it performance or comfort or safety. As far as raw power is concerned, the current order in the premium sedan segment is Octy1.8 188BHP > Elantra2.0 152BHP > Civic 1.8 140BHP > Corolla 1.8 138BHP.
@@shaunakprabhune630 Exactly, since they aren't selling type R so PD can't pit it against vRS, how the fuck this simple shit isn't going in your pint sized head
performance offcourse Skoda....but it looks like your uncle's car. Looks are subjective but Civic looks so sporty would take that over Skoda anyday. Now VRS is coming but again the design is plain hideous to me. honda pls pls pls bring 1.5 Turbo....
Lol. European design and Asian designs are different. Japanese loves flashy design. Europeans cars are classy and timeless design and doesn’t look boring after few years unlike civic which will look outdated in few years
I know it isn’t fair to mention the big daddy here - add a lil vRS to this equation, boy-o-boy civic or any other car would come across as a meaningless purchase with vRS minus the price tag :D
current version octavia despite 7 years old, still looks timeless and elegant. that can't be said to civic (old civic had it). About handling Octavia has rock solid stability even at higher speeds. One question though, U guys having praised Octavia in your old videos, why is this sudden shift in handling thing. when new generation Octavia has been unveiled why is this comparison now? Is Honda is advertising it's civic?
I prefer Octavia diesel with 6 speed wet clutch DSG! 7 speed is a dry clutch unit and dry clutches are not suited for indian traffic and weather conditions. gt tsi, ecosport, have shown issues before. cant comment on seltos cuz its new but apparently that shows few heating issues. not to forget wheelspins and launch control on 6 speed unit!! And don't even get me started on talking abt cvt on civic!! XD
Sedans are lot more advanced-engineered machines when compared to similarly priced pseudo SUVs. This is coming from someone who has owned 3 SUVs and finally a sedan now.
Hello #PDArmy, which car do you prefer? Skoda Octavia or Honda Civic? Tell us in the comments.
Civic love if no vrs.. if vrs launches then bye bye civic
Octavia!

At least a year or more for it to come here.

1:59 When you feel the V-Tec kickin’ around
Or as the popular saying goes -

100% same. Old Civic is notch, it looked so good. Current Octavia looks refreshed and better than any other sedans out thre.
Both the diesel and petrol engines are so much powerful than civic. And is a lot premium
on Octavia, everything looks good apart from split headlight design. I've observed on the roads, more than 50% of Octavia led lights get defused after sometime(stage between indicator and DRL). I am sure Skoda is aware of this issue.

Adaptive LED lights is one of the things I like in Octavia.
Octavia is more luxurious, comfortable, plush, & Practical...
Civic is looks Aggressive, flamboyant but sadly the story ends there!
I think the Octy is much better in terms of looks. Looks mature and organized. The Civic is overdone.
True!
German engineering cannot be questioned with.... Octavia......all time best🤩

Why KIA SELTOS vs HECTOR video is taken down ?

I prefer civic because it’s a sensible car
The rivalry grew and now the VRS is here in India but the Type R is still on it's way!!
Civic turns more heads..
If that split headlights are put aside, the Octavia looks far more elegant..
Octavia is one of the best cars but the CIVIC is pure LOVE😘😘🔥
Awesome PD❤
Rightly said, Sourabh.
I feel like octavia is much better at corners than civic!
I wish if this Octavia design lasted for long till i get a job and buy one for myself, the vRS version of it
I believe the only reason why everyone is buying SUV's are primarily because of the road conditions in India.
Nah.. Family oriented folks tend to buy boxy, safe cars. Even in the US.
Octavia any day. I feel that new gen Civic has lost it's charm
