gurkha your right toyota makes dam good cars didnt mean to come off sounding bitter, the 90 corolla was an ugly year,but pulled through for me with very few problems.good car just kind of ugly the 240d has much more style but it costs A lot more than A corolla.Ii really wish toyota would bring diesel models over here to the states that would be fun . OH WHAT A FEELING TOYOTA!! or something like that.
