Don't waste another minute thinking of it and go with the Toyota Corolla. I bought a new Corolla in 96 (5 speed stick) and never had ANY problems (over 200 000 kms on it). My 03 Honda Ody has been nothing but trouble..... In my personal opinion, Toyota is also a more responsible manufacturer in that they have kept pushing their hybrid technology in several models while Honda has stopped their Hybrid Accord - but I digress.... if you're looking for a great vehicle and very reliable go with Toyota....
