Smooth Drive: Corolla. But Octavia is excellent too.
In short, I would second Vinod's suggestion. I'm impressed with Skoda Octavia, especially the one with the Diesel engine. There are a lot of variants available. I'm not aware of the current prices, but I think the onroad price of the high end model ( L & K 1.9 Tdi, I guess) should be around 16 Lakhs.
But one point you need to consider is the service - check with the Skoda owners in your city about the quality of service they get from the dealers. From what I heard from my friend, the service quality is far below the standards (in Bangalore).

Be warned though - Skoda is not insured by any of the privaye insurer (like Bajaj Alianz, ICICI Prudential and so on) because usually claims are frequent & run very high. My of my friend's friend has one and th ebroken mirror itself costs 8000 INR which he had to replace thrice! And it is not covered under insurance
Budget was't there when I posted initially - my choice would be SUV but I don't have the money you have. I think cars are much cheaper (around 1l less for yyour range) in NCR region as compared to maharashtra. So you may consider lancer and as I already mentioned, team-bhp.com is a better choice.

Of the lot you have there, Scoda undeniably is the cheapest. Scoda for years where considered a poor man car, compared to say Volkswagen (funny enough � Volkswagen means peoples car or something..).

Is it so??? Here it is considered as one of the high end cars...barring imported ones. I don't even dream to own one....my most ambitious dream as of now is Scorpio or Chevrolet Tavera!
Otherwise happy with my good old Alto!!
