It would actually pull the car along at a reasonable speed too (up to 80mph) and should easily get hypermiling Mpg.

I had one many years ago. It was fun

I guess you won't get one in the USA though.
If I could get the Toyota 1ND 1.4L TD engine for a reasonable price, I'd love to swap out the engine in my Yaris.
