Your question really is a no brainer that I will be happy to provide an answer in detail, providing you answer a simple question.

Have you test driven both of these vehicle's ????? it looks to me like your putting the cart before the horse

I have test driven both of the vehicles. I like corolla more because of its quiet engine. Civic is very noisy. But based on the internet review, civic is safer than corolla. Civic has higher review scores.

I thought your Q would end up based on price - miles - year - balance warranty " lol " but your concern is ride vs safety,,, personally I would not have a problem regarding safety with the 2 cars in questions, if I was to study every safety detail some of these eggheads provide I would end up with a Sherman Tank.

If frills like a slider and alloy wheels - horse power etc etc don't come into play and just looking for basic transportation yes the Corolla with half the miles and having gained 2 model years with the warranty,,,,,, yes the Corolla would be my choice

Re: 2009 civic EX 25000 MILE vs 2011 corolla LE 13000 MILE

both of the cars are from Franchise Dealer, so that both of them are in very good condition and have warranty.

I understand the rental vehicle has been well maintained and serviced. How about the corporate vehicle? Does the company also provide good services to the car.

I think I have answered all your questions but if you want to keep going blowing bubbles there are over 5 million registered corporations in the US,,, now if you done some homeworks you should be able to tell me which one corporation in question ??? you answer that one " don't ask me how " or let's close this thread,,, buy the corolla and get on with your life.
