The Elantra and the Octavia have diesel variants, and between these two, the Octavia is more fun to drive. The Accord with a four-cylinder engine is economical (for its engine size) and is very reliable too. If you are going to use a chauffeur, the obvious choice is the Accord, while as a self-driven diesel, the Octavia wins. Six minded I own a Skoda Octavia petrol and drive about 40 km daily. I also travel out of town once a month. I want to upgrade to an Accord V6. But I have heard that the Opel Vectra V6 is going to hit Indian roads soon. I like the Vectra for its European looks and the interiors which have more functions than the Accord. What do you suggest?

We suggest you stick to your original choice of the Accord V6
