We'll have to see how (un)reliable it proves to be. Most Japanese
diesels (and probably European as well) are rather-to-extremely
unreliable, and that's before addition of a turbo (which most of them
have these days).

There is nothing mentioned about its being a boxer, so it might be a
straight-4, though if made on the same lines as the gasboxer, I guess
it'd be a boxer too... I sure hope so! How about a six?

Should be a DOHC 4-valve common-rail unit.
