Hi Vincent,

That’s a tough one, as not only are these two fantastic cars, they’re both cars we love. Obviously, the Superb is closer to what you’re used to, and it has masses of space in the cabin and boot, so if you’re looking for something more practical than your outgoing Insignia, then it’s the one to go for. But, it’s not that engaging to drive. Not bad to drive, but not exciting. The Civic is, as you point out, very different indeed, and in spite of having oddly-weighted steering, it’s really enjoyable to drive. That 1.6-litre iDTEC diesel is also a bit of a star engine, and while the Skoda is very well made, it’s the Honda that will almost certainly be the more reliable car in the long term. Plus, the Civic is roomy enough in the back seats and has a big boot. As I say, it’s a tough decision but I’d probably go for the Civic in the end. Don’t forget, there’s an all-new Civic arriving early next year, so it might be worth shopping around some of the Honda dealers and see if you can get a really sharp deal on a run-out of the current model.
