Hello,
With the gas prices 2.2$ / liter here in Turkey, I want to get rid of my gas guzzling Focus wagon and get something with a diesel engine. I was looking at Toyota's web page and saw that the Corolla is available with a diesel engine (D4-D engine).. This is the first time that Toyota cars are available with diesel engine here therefore no one knows anything about their reliablity. It is a 1.4 liter engine with 90 bhp and quite slow..but great on gas and its price is within my price range ($US 25K MSRP , damn taxes!). How is this Toyota engine? as reliable as the gas engine? costly to maintain? dengerous to drive because they are like snails?
Thank you very much.
Ahmet
