Should I sell my Corolla for a Civic?

So I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla with 50k miles (used to be my grandmas and she drove it little). I've had it for over a year and it's absolutely perfect, no issues whatsoever, but it's kind of a boring car without a lot of aftermarket parts. I'm 19 and in college so I need a reliable car that's good on gas, so I was thinking of selling it for a different, more fun, used 4 cylinder car. I think a Honda Civic would be a good choice, I don't plan on ricing it out or anything but from what I see it's a bit more of a fun, better handling car. I'd also like to get a manual instead of an automatic (my Corolla is an auto and I've driven stick and like it much better).

So, do you guys think it's worth selling my Corolla, getting hopefully around 9 grand for it, and getting a used Civic? Or is it not gonna be worth it? Any input is appreciated.

If the only reason is that you want a less boring car then forget about it. What if the Civic is not in similarly good condition? Keep in mind that it's a car commonly owned by teenagers so it was probably abused. Just keep your current ride

By more fun you mean you can race… Race around with the other Honda racers.

Your in school, keep the good and dependable car until your out of school. Trading DOWN is foolish and stupid. It is not worth it, time to think like a grown up.

Keep what you have. You know its history. Quit trying to be cool and be real…

Absolutely not.
Corollas are just the same as the Civics in terms of engine and performance. They are very comparable.
What you can do in terms of aftermarket parts on a Civic and be done on the Corolla as well.

Keep you Corolla since you know it was not abused by your Grandma, and take good care of it and it will outlast those riced out Civics since they were most likely driven hard and over modified.
