Hello all,

I own an '88 Toyota Corolla, and it's been the best car I've ever owned. I'm from Canada, and drove from Calgary to Prince Edward Island on the east coast and back without a single incident.

Wish only it would have been diesel... Unfortunately, diesel Corollas don't seem to have ever arrived to Canada.

I discovered the Corolla All-Trac wagons, and find them of special interest, given that we're a small family and we travel a lot.

I wonder if there was a Corolla All-Trac wagon with a diesel engine ever available? In what country(es) would have it been released?

...and, of course, I'm now actively looking for a Corolla All-Trac wagon, any offers please let me know.

Cheers from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

To my knowledge, the corolla diesel were sold in Europe and japan only ... perhaps the middle east.

I would be very not inclined to buy a Corrola with an diesel engine that has not been marketed in America.

Good point David, the parts would be rather hard to source out unless you really knew what you were doing with small diesel engines. Also, those little diesels don't like the Canadian winter that much, they need to be babied from what I've heard. Garage, constantly plugged in, etc.
