The 95-2002 Corolla all use the same engine, and I consider it to be slightly more technologically advanced than the Civic engines in the same time period. I like the Civics though because you can get a 1.5L engine instead of the 1.8. You can't go wrong with either.
My father-in-law's 96 Civic just died, transmission finally failed at 278,000 miles. He never had to do much maintenance to it, and when I asked him how often he changed the transmission fluid he asked, "You're supposed to change that?"
