I'm in Angola right now, and back here it's still possible to buy a Hilux with the nearly indestructible 5L-E engine, reported to be more suitable to dirtier diesel fuels and even better to use vegetable oil as a fuel alternative due to the low-tech indirect injection. A cheaper engine, easier to perform PMS. Only downside it lacks a turbo. Diesel Corollas are not officially available thru Toyota dealers, but can be sourced from Morocco either with the same 1.4 D4-D it spots in Europe or the good ole 2C used in Philippine Corollas before the Altis.
