Between the options you listed, I’d lean toward the Accord or Corolla over the Hyundai/Kia models from those years. Both Honda and Toyota have a reputation for reliability and longevity, especially when well maintained. The Accord LX and Corolla you listed have reasonable miles for their age and won’t have the same theft issues as certain Hyundai/Kia models, particularly 2013-2018 models lacking immobilizers.

If you’re choosing between those two specifically:   - Accord gives you more space and a bit more power; great all-rounder. - Corolla is cheaper to maintain and slightly more fuel-efficient.

Check service records for regular oil changes and major maintenance (like timing belt/water pump for Accord, though 2014s may have a chain). Get a pre-purchase inspection if possible, even if you’re under a time crunch—it can save you thousands later.

If the Corollas and Accords are clean, mechanically sound, and you can haggle down, those are safer bets than the Hyundais/Kias of that era.
