the civic in american, JDM and europe are all near enough bullet proof. so id say theres going to be next to no difference with the indian version.

what version of the octiva diesel are you looking at ? try sticking to the 110-130 pd engines. stay away from the non turbo diesel.

the octavia petrol has the same engine as a few of us here and is one of the most tunable ones around. its the one id go for, easy to tune parts easy to come by

The Octavia gets my vote also, the engine can be remapped and will give you another 40-60bhp easily. It is also pretty economical and has a nice progressive power curve.
