Cheaper to maintain a 2014 Corolla from the perspective that parts are easily available and garages and dealership still know them. Also down time is a huge factor.
I have an AE86, it’s legendary for me but I know if things break fixing it can be a journey. Also you need to find a ‘good’ old car, and in the condition you want will be more expensive than the 2014 Corolla. ESP the AE86.
On the flipside I would say for project cars the Toyotas are great because overall durability, and parts compared to many other kinds of car are overall cheaper, and there is a large community out there.
