Hi Busa,
Your blatantly biased towards Optra. Everyone here agrees Optra is a good car. But Skoda is many ways better than Optra.

Mileage - Octavia will easily give 12 with AC in city. [Its not a good idea to measure fuel efficiency on a short trip.If you understand software & algorithms a bit you can easily conclude how tough to give the fuel efficiency figures with the less inputs]
Handling - ABS ..something I could not comment on. Soon I would able to do it. Because my uncle has booked L &K and take delivery very shortly.

Luxuary - Laura is miles ahead of Optra (also in price ;-) ).

Spare part cost: Optra spare parts are also costly. More over GM days are counted :-(
