Used Toyota gassers should be plentiful and reliable even if they give up a little in ultimate fuel economy.

If you want fuel economy and performance too, get the TDi.
I second this statement, but also add Civic to the Corolla I'm a Toyota guy but I can't skip over the Civic's reliability, quality, performance.
