Dont tell me the reasons, tell me the results. Result is that Toyota is offering 2C engine in its Corolla Diesel variants. If someone wants that over a VVt-i 1.3L, be my guest, but I will never recommend it unless you live in a mountainous area...
And I dont know (precise) fuel economy for either
@suzuki
Gli brakes are MUCH better than 2D, as it has ABS. Even so, the brakes are "ordinary" as per my judgement, the brakes on a Civic(02-09) and City (09) are much better (Y)
@Naxun
1) New corolla has better brakes than model 2001-8, but its still far worse than Civic, both old and new one.
2) Thats strange, 140 seems too low as "top speed" for a tuned, new 1.3 2NZ-Fe on petrol with 195 tyres and in 5th gear. It should be more like 180 (Y), dunno why youre getting just 140...speedometer ghalt dekha re hoge pir...
