If you love sedans, the last couple of years have shown hope that all ground is not lost to crossovers. Be it the exciting Honda City, or the award-winning 3 Series and its crazy 340i cousin or the recently launched and temptingly priced Mercedes-Benz A-Class, there has been quite a bit of action lately to keep the sedan lovers happy. And now, another iconic model line has revealed its newest offering the Skoda Octavia. It has got so many people waiting in anticipation that I’m told Skoda had a hard time selling out the third-generation Octavia RS because the fourth-generation sedan was on the horizon. Of course, it’s no match for its athletic 245PS cousin, but the promise of new-gen tech and comfort is hard to ignore. So does it deliver?
