I feel like the Corolla is just far too underpowered and under-featured to recommend.

For about $800 more than the Corolla CE CVT, you can get Civic LX Sedan which gives you 26 more hp, 10 more lb-ft, independent front & rear suspension (vs. Macpherson front, rear torsion beam), front & rear disc brakes (vs. front discs, rear drums), remote keyless entry, automatic climate control (vs. manual AC), heated front seats, 7" touchscreen display (vs. 3.5"), Android Auto/Apple Carplay, etc.

Just seems like a much more modern car for the money plus you still get the reliable K20 engine. The Corolla has a couple extra automatic safety features.
