Well after reading alot of CIVIC vs CORROLLA I decided to write my own review as we keep a corrolla and a civic at all times. I agree with ayubian2 in the sense that one cant compare corrolla with civic the main reasons being:
1. corrolla is a multi purpose vehilcle it performs on off-road as well as on metal road but doesnt give extreme performance on neither side. Because of its soft suspension it doesnt offer much control or rather the feeling of being in control on plain roads in high speeds, on rough terrain there is always the problem of road clearence in corrolla as well(lesser than civic tho)
2. corrolla is designed to be long lasting with cheap maintenance which is not required for longer periods of time that is the reason many countries prefer corrolla (or camry) to be driven as taxis.
3. Civic is not a multi purpose vehicle it is designed for plain roads only doesnt offer much on rough terrain infact its a nightmare! Its stiff suspension makes is perfect for high speeds as it offers alot more control for example if there is a turn and a corrolla would pass that turn on 80km/h and no more, a civic could very well make that turn on speeds as high as 140 to 160 km/h without any anxious feelings.
4. Maintenance wise civic requires much more care than a corrolla, and is much more expensive, but the drive is that much more addictive as well.
5. as far as feul economy is concerned in EFI engines if the RPM is roughly below 3000 then any EFI car is in economy mode, above that there is no concept of feul economy just performance(true for corrolla as well as civic as well as any other EFI engine).
The base line is both civics and corrollas are built for different purposes, the former built for style and (is technologically advanced) metal roads, the later built to last longer with support for multiple terrains.
So it could be argued but in my opinion if one has to take real mileage from his/her car that is as high as 200 to 300 km per day on average, corrolla should be the first choice, if one wants a car just for his driving pleasure in style and low mileage in mostly in city drives AND HE/SHE can AFFORD to lose money on resales, civic would be very appropriate for such party.
Example1: we took a mileage of 5lacs and 50thousand kilometers from a corrolla(japanese) in just 4 years and sold it without any maintenance at a price that was 5thousand PKRs less than our buying price!
Example2: we took a mileage of 40thousand kilometers from a pakistani civic in just 18months with about 50thousandPKRs maintenance INCLUDING TYRES and sold it for fifteen thousand PKRs less than our buying price!
But one thing is for sure the driving pleasure that one gets in a civic is far far far more than wut one gets in any corrolla!
Do the math :)
PS: corrolla is ideal if one doesnt like to drive and employs a driver to drive ;)
hope this was insightful for some atleast :)
do the math :)

I am driving it in Kuwait,bought in nov,2010.Its 6cylinder,petrol,TXL,4lts.Personally i dont like the new exterior. But the new changes regarding suspension has made it more stable on corners and steep turns.On road performance has improved with new AWD. Off road performance was always legendary.Off road capability has been enhanced through more users friendly,single touch controls for diverse terrains.If you compare the interior with the contempararies its not as impressive,but comfortable leg space ist and second row. it has big fuel tank,i get 7km/l+milage.its 5000 maintenace is half to Honda Accord(2.4 liters petrol).Now after 25000 KM down the line the only thing it needs is break adjustment.Very noiseless and pretty powerful response when you need to pump up.Its a real off road with improved on road capabillties. People who dont intend to enjoy the offroad flavour should go for other options,because you will never know what it is. put to test will never betray.
It is little expensive here in Gulf but in Pakistan my God cant think off buying it.

I previously owned a Honda City and had no problem with it but my friends suggested me to buy a Xli. I think this car is totally under-powered as compared to City... I experienced much better acceleration with City than corolla... It has a big body so 1300cc is not suitable. Moreover, after spending more than 1.4 million u still have to pull down the windows with your hand.... Its brakes are not as good... skidded many times too... I feel like an old man while driving this car, no pick, no choice of colour, no ABS... A disgrace...sorry to Rolla fans...
