I think the main problem people have with the Largo is the power to weight ratio. It has the same engine as the lighter vanette but has a bigger (in certain ways nicer looking) body. Now the vanette engine if I remember is either a 1.7D or a 1.8D which is not a lot but powers the vanette quite well but when it comes to the Serena and the Largo it starts to struggle a bit and you really have to push it to get some acceleration and speed and thus the low market demand for those two vehicles.

There is a turbo charged version of this engine (well I've only seen the Serena but I suppose the same might be true with the Largo) which apparently is quite nippy

We've used a VX deisel many years ago. I only knew to start the engine of it at that time

During the time we used it diesel was about 12-13 rupees so no one cared to check how much km we get on a litre...

The only prob we had with it was an engine over heating problem especially while climbing uphill. We had to stop for while & let it cool down in the Ginigathena & Radella climbs. The reason may be what Don commented on a under powered engine.
