1. I need to know how economical is this car, some people say if its on D4 its fuel consumption is equal to a 1.5 litre capacity vehicle. How true is this?

2. If I am to replace the current engine (D4), which engine is compatible?

Your Corolla was rated around 30 mpg when it was new.

Why are you considering replacing the engine?

It's not like I want to change it now but just wanted to know in case I would want to change it in future.

Most salvage yards have interchange manuals which tell them which engine will fit the transmission of the Corona (sorry, I referred to it as a Corolla earlier). Try your local salvage yard to see if they can check the manual for you.

Something to think about:
When changing the engine you'll have to consider if the car's computer is compatible with the new engine or if the computer will have to be changed as well.
