I want to buy a new sedan, but I am confused between Skoda Superb and Audi A4. can you Suggest another car?

If you want prestige, a smooth ride and classy interior, but aren’t too keen on rear seat space, the new Audi A4 is a great option. It is very sophisticated, has a great ride and is of cabin quality. However, if you’re primarily driven by the driver, the Superb is unbeatable in the back seat. The Superb is also a highly refined and high quality car, but it lacks the brand strength of Audi.
I am in a dilemma which pre-owned automatic sedan to choose. The car will be used mainly in the city and occasionally for long drives. I received a 2011 Honda Civic model which appears to be in good condition and with a reasonable price. What should I keep in mind before buying it?

The old-gen Civic had serious ground clearance issues and if you are taking it on long journeys, you need to be careful with the speed breakers. Also, buying a discontinued 10 year old car is not a good idea. Although the Civic is very reliable, going forward, it is possible that getting the parts and servicing it will not be easy. If you are still curious, we suggest you check it thoroughly for common wear and tear on important items like suspension, engine and bodywork.
