both cars are good, and I dont think you can go wrong! It all depends on what you want, Reliability is about the same. Gas mileage very similar. Honda has better style and you can play with it more than you can with the corolla, but then again maybe you dont care! If you care more about getting a reliable car, then I would sit in both of them and find out in which one you fit better....good luck!
I would go with the Honda!!
