Well, the Indian market being as it is - limited choice - buyers are forced to chose between this. I had a similar decision to make earlier this year.

The Corolla is NOT more silent than the Octi. Maybe at higher revs, but during regular city use, the Octi is an extremely silent car, and I'm talking about the TDi here. Not sure where all the talk of the RS is coming from as there are no plans to launch that here.
The Corolla is a great car. Noting sells in such large numbers if its a bad product afterall. But, the Indian version has a terrible ride quality. I just recetly refreshed my memory with my friends Corolla. The darn thing drove like an Esteem, no kidding! Its really unsettling for a passenger in there cos the suspension is just way too stiff for Indian roads. After a 1 hour ride in the Corolla, the Octi felt like a magic carpet! That ride quality alone is enough to put someone off the Corolla.
Then there are the interiors. The Corolla looks good, but you can see where they've cheaped out on the quality. The windows seem like they are about to pop out of their rails when raised or lowered. The suspension was already knocking on my friends car which is 9 months old and done 10,000km.

Well, the choice between the Octi or the Corolla is not as simple as it seems. However, I'm eager to know what car you prefer if you think the Skoda is below avg and the corolla is avg. The Elantra? The Optra?
