I liked the new Civic more than the new [ugly shape] of corolla. Toyota and Honda got a good resale value in the market, the different in the parts is not that much ... I got for my father 2004 corolla the break pads original for 180 while for the Civic is 220. The Honda parts last more than the Toyota and that is why they are a little more expensive ....

The new corolla is like 60+ and the civic is in the same range too. I drove the 2007 Honda civic model car and i like it. Don't know about the after sale service, but what i know is Toyota service center is always busy and takes a lot of time to fix anything even changing the engine oil ... Never tried Honda service center and don't want to ever need that :)
