I dont have any personal experience with a Corolla but i know Accords are EXTREAMLY reliable. Right now for a winter car im driving a 97 Accord my rents passed down to me. It has 300 000kms on it and the only thing weve had to fix/ replace were the brakes.

They just got rid of a 2003 V6 Accord (lease was up) and had nothing but good things to say about it.

Like i said though, i dont know about Corollas
