I do know this. Civics have larger interiors than Corollas. If jamming lots of big things into your car (which may or may not include passengers) is important, I would choose the Civic.
If you want a good VTEC model, go for the Civic EX or SI. It uses the performance VTEC, like what was on the CRX and Si cars, but on a new engine. SI model has better suspension and a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The DX/LX/all other X except EX models use the new R18 i-VTEC which is designed for good fuel economy, and has lots of electromechanic wizardry to provide the fuel economy of a smaller engine while still performing like a bigger engine.

What would be some pros of getting a 2007 honda civic vs a 2007 or 2008 Toyota Corolla?
Does The civic get better gasmileag? According to Fueleconomy.gov the Civic gets worse gas mileage but the sticker on the window at the dealership says 30 to 40 and corolla's was 30 to 38
Are the 2007's Honda Civics as good as the old ones, is there a certain year civic thats best?
Do Honda Civics compare to Toyota in terms of Reliability? Toyotas are known to go up to atleast 250K I am wondering if a Honda will generally do the same if regular oil change and maintencen are performed.
What about the DOHC VTEC engine? I hear its in preludes and CRX's if it was such a great idea then they wouldnt stop making it right?
Whats the Honda Civic going to give me a Corolla will not?

I'd take both for a test drive, to see what car, features,and price fit you the best. For the best economy, get a manual tranny and cruise control. Top speed isn't a consideration, as even an older 1.6L non-VTECCivic like mine will easily do triple-digit speeds. That's overdriving the stock tires and thetop speed isoften governed in the U.S. anyway.

RE: Considering buying a Honda Civic Or Corolla
how old are you, that's all have to know
in my family, my mother, one aunt, and my GRANDMA are all driving corollas
on the other hand, me, my brother, and two other cousins around my age, 17, are driving civics.
so if you're not interested in the tuning scene and only want a car that's not sporty, purely economy orientated, and a little cheaper, then just go for the corolla. if not, then you definitely want the civic

I think they both are really reliable, economical, and good choices. The civic just seems to have more personality.
