Suggestion about buying Toyota corolla 2.0D saloon SR 2009 or above model

[alishankhann]

Aoa...I am posting a question about buying a Toyota corolla 2.0d 2009 now a days,,,,As i have searched on pakwheels and olx, i couldn't find any corolla 2.0d SR in good condition..
Anyone who have been using diesel are requested to give me suggestion, whether i should buy a diesel car or not...and how much it would worth for buying a 2009 or 2010 model with SR??
also i have question about fuel average, diesel engine durability for long drives, AC performance etc etc...
Members are requested to reply...
Thanks

Ws. I cant tell you the difference as i driven them both. The first thing you should know is quality diesel available in your area? If not, then you should go for a corrolla Petrol version. Its going to be easy for you to keep. A 2.OD Corrola has a bigger compressor and its ac is very chilling compared to the petrol version. A 2.0D will give you around 12 km with ac in city and on long routes u can easily get 17 with ac. If you want my opinion, i would suggest you to buy some other car. It doesnt have good brakes at all.

Thank you for your reply,,,Yes diesel is easily available in our area, and BTW diesel is something people prefer due to its availability, it can be available everywhere, be it urban or ruler or hilly terrain...
its good to know that AC is responsive...and it doesn't have good brakes??? ain't it comes with ABS after 2008?

[mariyamkhizer_89]

You are welcone. Alishan where do you live? I will suggest you accordingly. I am presently driving a lexus rx 2012 & its love.

I dont know about the Abs thing exactly but twice or thrice i braked so the car used to get slipped. Pakistani manufactured corolla does not have any grip, even with an Abs it wont stop when you will want to stop you car in an emergency.

[alishankhann]

Yeah you are right, PKDM's Abs are not so much responsive as compared to JDM's, and as you told me about skidding of your car, it must be a 2008 or previous diesel...
Anyhow....I live in Peshawar, and i am thinking about diesel because i travel so much, and i heard about its fuel efficiency...

[mariyamkhizer_89]

Okay, i want to talk to you in detail about the F sectors. Can you send me your cell no? I will text you there

[alishankhann]

I have sent you PM,
You can ask me there...

[alishankhann]

Well I own 2008 2 D Saloon. Non SR version.
Reliable and durable with good AC and Fuel avg. Very powerful car. With 5 on board and boot full of luggage you can floor it with good response. Breaks are very good. No slip if drive in less than 120kmh

[alishankhann]

Thanks for your reply...i don't need it for racing,,,i just need a heavy car with goo fuel average, better AC and powerful car,,,
so is it wise enough to buy this car SR version..
and what will be the best price tag for this car ??

[alishankhann]

And also it is very rare to find,,,i couldn't find on pakwheels or olx etc,,,,except 5,6 cars

[nawan885]

Actually no one want to sell it as it has high low end torque . Prices are quite high in hilly areas.

[alishankhann]

According to my survey, most of the 2.0D's are available in mirpur Ajk, and south punjab and some of the pothohar region...
I couldn't find any in peshawar...very rare in market...

[usman_arooq2]

1. diesel corolla's have better braking than petrol counterparts because weight of diesel gives extra grip.

2. the engine is surely torquey but not powerful, the difference: you wouldn't be able to get good pick out of it till you drive it a few hundred kilometers and understand its powerband but it would be unbeatable in some conditions e.g. I can keep mine in 4th and 5th at most parts of Kalar Kahar range where petrol car's need 3rd gear or they feel like bogging down.

3. A/C is chill and pick/ fuel economy difference with/without a/c is unnoticeable.

4. it needs 5.2 liter engine oil and 2.0D isn't as problematic on our diesel as D4-D engines in Vigo, heck it can be run on kerosene oil, diesel mix too if needed in case of emergency.

[alishankhann]

Thank you for your answer in full detail....You made me fee encouraged for buying a 2.0D...I will surely go for it now IA...
One more thing is its availability, very rare in market...Could you please tell me from where i can buy a 2.0D in an immaculate condition??

PS. You also have a 2.0D, Which model you have ?

[nawan885]

I agree with us usman. If u want a black colour 2 D se less than 80k driven black colour lahor no..or white colour 2 D Saloon 2006 model isl registered.. both under doctors use I can provide u their contact. Both cars are in ajk

[mzahid]

Diesel cars are good for long routes, rural and hilly areas.

Provide much better torque than petrol counterpart good in climbs. For that AC performance is good as well.

Diesel cars are simpler, no critical sensors or EFI systems so reliable once get going.

Diesel engine noise is much more.

Diesel engines require more frequent engine oil changes.

Within city, stop and go traffic diesel engines cars are not comfortable to drive.

[alishankhann]

Actually i want 2009 and above models having SR...

[alishankhann]

More frequent engine oil changes?? Really ??
As i was thinking the opposite...
