Description
Same engine. Same platform. Same power.
So why do they feel so different?
In this video, we take on the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Škoda Octavia RS — two cars with identical DNA, but completely different personalities.

Driver focus vs daily usability.
Heart vs head.
Saneet Dsilva argues with…himself, covering steering feel, ride quality, interiors, practicality, highway composure and real-world ownership before answering the big question:

Let us know in the comments. Which car is better?
