They are good cars the 2ZZ is a pretty powerful 1.8l engine. A Corolla XRS with a I/H/E and good tune via a PFC can get you into the high 13's with a good set of tires plus skilled driver. In acceleration they are very close, since it weights 200lb less than the Civic. That compensates the fewer ponies in their engine.
***Sorry to dissapoint all those honda fanboys, but after being a current proud owner of 2006 Honda Civic Si, that doesn't mean that I'm a blinded fanatic ***
The only downside that I found among XRS owners is that the transmission isn't very strong and can break easily.
