The problem with Brits and the 'skoda' image is that we still think of skoda as the 'skip' of the 80's and not of the new century.
I love the new Octavia but is was just too big for my needs and the Civic is the better styled car. However, they are not that far apart when it comes to performance, build and so on.
The Octavia does need a good face lift to bring it into the 20th century I will give you that but other than that it is a fantastic car.
If you need a car that is bigger than the civic and having said that the civic boot, coupled iwth the magic seats, is formidable. Then the Octavia is for you. IF however, you don't need the space then the Civic is definately the car to have - it look amazing.
If it is a style choice then the civic wins without question, if it is a practicality issue and you need space then the octavia is the answer.
