Have been given conflicting advice. Is it true that the pre 2000 Turbo Diesel engine is by far the best one they made. Have been told several times to avoid the D4D and the 2.2 because it is noisy and has fly wheel problems. Some one says that the 2000 to 2003 D4D is much more reliable than the later models that are more computerised and are more easily serviced and repaired. At the moment I am torn between an immaculate showroom condition 2002 D4D with 108000 on the clock priced at £1600 or a 2006 also low mileage but with a few scratches on the body for only a couple of hundred pounds more. Then there is a really nice V reg. 2 litre diesel Corrolla that has only done 62,000, wonder if that would tow my caravan as well as the Avensis.
