I've driven my 1993 Honda Civic for 15 years and love it but am starting to weigh to the cost of repairs against buying a new car.

My initial plan - - if I do buy something new - - was just to get the latest Civic, but I'm curious about the new Corolla. I having a little trouble figuring out on the websites what is standards and what isn't. I'm also disappointed that not all the Corolla models come with manual transmissions.

I'd appreciate any feedback and advice.

Thanks!

JUst got a 2008 honda civic and the car kick ass.THe corolla cost more for less. THe new civic's are much better on size and strenght  

Corolla vs Civic, those two cars are indeed close when it comes to competition. They have very minor differences and almost the same prices. Before I also had the same dilemma but my choice always comes down to Toyota because of it cheaper cost in maintenance and better fuel mileage.

hope it helps.

You're likely to get 50/50 on opinions because there are those who are loyal to Toyota and those to Honda..  personally, I purchased a 2005 Corolla LE, 5-speed, and love it.  As for new, both are very similar in both size, and power.  My brother has a '04 Corolla LE auto, and my parents have a '98 corolla LE auto, obviously we've been Toyota people.  I think about what replacement car to get for my parents as it's almost time to retire their '98 and get something new... If it was up to me, I'd get them a Civic LX... I consider it very similar to the corolla, but since they would want to drive an auto, I'd go for the 5-speed Civic over the 4-speed corolla.  If it wasn't for the automatic transmission choices, I'd consider it a draw and default to the corolla.  

If you want a good selection id try a parts locator. One place that can find you a good short or long block for a <a href="http://www.texas-junkyards.com">Audi transmission</a> is <a href=http://www.texas-junkyards.com>TEXAS Junkyards</a>, Junk Yards in TEXAS TX salvage recycler. They have a link somehow to multiples of thousands of recycling centers and will locate the best one for you.
