need help new car

Ok this is the deal my sisters car got creamed it's totaled she had a 95 toyota
avalon. After a small onesided talk about how she can't have a new luxury car
I have her narrowed down to a civic or a carolla. Now my parents are helping her get it so they have some say also but they think that civics break easly and are poorly built and the carolla is bullet proof. I have tried to convince them otherwise. I would like to hear some points on either one of the cars and possibly print out the pages and show them to my parents. Please help me with this and try to keep it fairly clean Thank to all you

I don't see as many old corollas as I do old civics...why would your parents think civics break down a lot? I always had it in my head head that it was the Hondas that are "bulletproof". I'm also pretty sure Hondas have the highest resale value.

There is nothing wrong with the corolla. Toyota is the king of quality. They invented many of the manufacturing and quality control methods used throughout countless different industries. You can't go wrong with either car.

corolla looks like poo. Most cars won't have problems so long as you take care of it.

civic = higher resale value. and if she gets a coupe it would look pimpin. they are so hot. and corollas are ugly. but either way it would be a good choice. if she wants a stick get a civic. you can't go wrong either way. its like pepsi or coke. and btw civics do not break down easily. honda's are freakin rocks. all you do it change the oil and they will go and go and go.

Either car would be a great choice....if you want the best reliability, I say og toyota...if you want the best in sporty-fun-to-drive get the civic. I say Toyota makes a better car but the notion that honda's are crappy is rediculous!
