Hi! Welcome to the family!

As per your inputs, Skoda Octavia fits in perfectly!

Hello There, Welcome to the forum x

I agree with Bhavneet, Octavia seems a safer bet.

But the Altis is not bad at all. Forget about the Jetta TBH. The Altis was, is and will be a great car in this segment. You can also check out The Sonata or Elantra AT. Both are great cars. But when it comes to handling; Hands down for Sonata. The Elantra clicks in all aspects.

IMO, TD the Octavia, Altis and Elantra and then decide.

@drnikhil0143: It is the All New Octavia which is the buzz in the car market in terms of performance, ride & handling, features and comfort.

I would strongly recommend you the Octavia. Check it out and TD it.

For your running per month a petrol engine is better suited for your use. Though I love the 1.8TSi but the DQ200 automatics gearbox is very unreliable it costs 1.5 lakhs to replace if anything goes wrong with it. But the diesel DQ250 gearbox is more reliable ; Jetta is excellent but a bit to understated and similar looking to Vento but IMO the Highline AT is the one to go for.

If you want excellent reliability (better than above 2) then the New Corolla AT (CVT) and Elantra 1.8 AT are good choice and will undercut your 20 lakhs budget but may not be as fun to drive as the Germans.

Look nowhere and buy the Octavia. It is one of the most preferred car in this price range nowadays

[librankur 39]

Yes , as suggested in the trailing posts , you should seriously look at the New Corolla Altis .

I would suggest you to increase your budget and get Volvo S60 :-)

have test driven both jetta & octavia.....both are almost similar.....octavia looks slightly better.....but overall jetta is better & VW as a whole is better than skoda

& skoda dealer says 5-6 mnths waiting period which is really too much inflated(they are definitely not selling that much)

hav finally booked Octavia 1.8TSI.....it is really amazing with 180 bhp engine and beautiful interiors...!!!!
