As others have said, the Corolla equates more closely to the Civic. And the Camry to the Accord.
They are all boring, competent, exceedingly reliably and easy to insure cars. The Toyotas a more dependable someone is still driving my last Corolla around with 311,000 miles on it, Honda a bit less boring. But which model and what paint color makes more difference.
If cost is an issue, think about the Scion Xa which is made by Toyota but completely optioned and priced for the entry level customer. Like $13,000. Or if you need volume, the Scion Xb is big on the inside but seems someone pushed over a phone booth and attached four tires .
Every 250,000 miles, I get a new Corolla. Not for dependability reasons, but anything gets a little ratty and tattered after ten years.
