We compare the new Honda Civic against its age old rival the Toyota Corolla Altis and the Skoda Octavia. So which is the best petrol automatic sedan to have?
EXTERIOR
The new Honda Civic is every bit ravishing to look at. It comes with the same arrow like design where the sleek pair of headlamps and grille plays a vital role in makes the sedan look sporty. The lights are all LED units and offer a fantastic beam. The LED day time lights and fog lights coupled with a decent serving of chrome offers a visual which makes the Civic look very desirable. In profile the sporty outlook continues with a sweeping roof line and a coupe like design. The stout boot design also adds to the appeal of the Civic. The rear section is dominated by the large LED tail lights and the spoiler perched on the boot lid.
The Skoda on the other hand offers a more European flair. The front end of the Octavia looks matured and the LED day time lights give the Octy a very unique look. The large signature grille makes the Octy look unmistakably like a Skoda. The profile is dominated by a single shoulder line and it looks very smooth and polished. The rear end too continues with the matured them and overall the Skoda looks handsome as an executive sedan.
