For me, one of the main selling points of the corolla over the civic was the analog speedometer. Digital just doesn't do it for me. But, the civic has more horsepower and standard anti-lock brakes, and those were the two main features that tipped the scales toward the civic for me.
But, in my case, it was a corolla CE vs. the Civic DX, not the LE vs. the LX. And since the civic DX is more expensive than a CE and doesn't even have standard air conditioning, I didn't see any reason to not go with the CE. Not to mention the Corolla has a 60K power train warranty while the Civic has only a 36K warranty last I checked. Also, I'm not a fan of power windows, locks...etc, which come standard with the civic.
So, again, the corolla is not a choice that I really regret. However, I have lately been contemplating an Impreza base model before Subaru ruins that car forever starting this year in August with the 2008 model. It's going to look like a cross between a ford fusion and a shoe box. The mileage is what's mainly holding me back, especially with gas at like $3.50 for reg. I'm assuming it will only go up, so by the time I pay off the impreza, gas will be like $5/gallon and I'll be wishing I had kept the corolla.
