Confused b/w Thai model Vigo or local Vigo champ

Thai import vigo is 100 time better then our local assembled. dont go for local 2500cc , it,s under power. go for thai 3000cc D4D.
really a dream machine.

I dont know why people support the thai vigo so much so as if it is a much superior car.

I have owned a thai vigo and a local vigo champ

The fact is that in the current market you get a 2010 thai vigo which is 4 years old and 50,000km plus driven for 43-44.
after this you need to replace the tyres, battery, brake pads and do other maintenance which cost 2-3 lacs.
Even after doing this you are driving a 4 year old car which has older interior and older exterior and is not champ and you have no history of what repairs it has been through in thailand.

On the other hand the indus vigo is 0 meter, has a tv navigation, no major maintenance work for 3 years, and costs much less at 36 lacs for a new 2014 model car. It now even has 17 inch rims.

I currently own a vigo champ 2.5, and it gives me a milage of 9.3km to the ltr,

very satisfied and happy with it,

if by chance you feel it is underpowered, add a bolt on front mount intercooler which adds 15-18 hp, or get uni chip which adds 45hp.
Dont get a 4 year old car for a much higher price.

hope that answers your query in detail

+1. Couldn't possibly agree more.

Thai Vigo 2010 Vn turbo is the best buy much better then the local one and gr8 drive or Mitsubishi L200 is also a good choice cheaper but economical and drive is very good!

@babaromar r u working in FFBL?

Thai vigo feels more powerful and 'well built' than its local counterpart, especially the turbo timer one. However, as usmanghani555 explained brilliantly, the cost/age factor does come into play.

Then again, neither of them shall even be 25% as comfortable as the Grand Ax-G.

P.S. if you want to buy a registered Thai Vigo, send me a PM.

i bought a 2012 model vigo last year. it had only 17k km on odo. i bought it from sukheki (one hour drive from lahore on motorway). i was very happy to drive it on the local road. when i entered motorway and crossed 100km/h speed, i felt the under power thingy. it just wouldnt go above that speed with ease. also, the road grip wasnt up to the mark. sold it the very next day after reaching lahore

i am driving a 2007 model vigo invincible these days. it was imported in pakistan in 2010. i drove it till kotli sattian (hilly area) yesterday from lahore. it was raining and the road isnt that great. loved the drive. same happened on way back to islamabad.
today i have just arrived from islamabad to lahore and it rained all the way. the speed never came down from 140km/h although the rain was pouring heavily. the average i got is 31.7miles per gallon. i have spent zero ruppees on maintenance.

you can in no way compare the power, road grip and comfort of both vehicles.

given a chance to vote for one, i will always vote for an imported vigo.

on the other hand, new is new and has no comparison.

why do people buy a new mehran and not a used cultus??

choice is yours.

i knew u would intervene into this discussion definitely Haroon bhai and i was waiting for your expert opinion

My company has a lot of thai and local vigos. and of every model. The pakistani ones not more than an year old have started making noises esp behind rear seats and rear wheels area. their assembling is poor. whereas the thai vigos are flawless. I am not talking about one badly assembled hilux / vigo. most of the Pakis are that way.

are u working for FWO?

in which department u r in OGDCL? as we are suppliers of OGDCL!

The company my dad works in has around hundred Hilux of all variants and made. Ive driven the local Vigo Champ V and G variants.
To be honest, they are no better than donkey carts.

@sjehsan Process & Plants Dept. at an undisclosed location whats your trade? your company name?

Im not saying that thai model would be as comfortable as some boeing jet but it would be alot better than the pakistani made vigos.
