On a general note, Honda and Toyota, both engines are durable, but Honda's engines seem more robust than that of Toyota's.
In case of suspension, locally assembled PKDM Toyota Corolla's suspension is comparatively soft. Civic's hard.
If you want Toyota Corolla and soft suspension of it, then opt for at least 1600 cc variant of Corolla (Altis 1.6, GLI 1.6, etc.). 1800 cc Corolla seems best to me, in different variants of Corolla.
