I am using it as a mobile pet grooming service. I added a water tank, pump and a small fold out table. The only issue was the suspension was a bit too soft, had to reinforce a bit.

Converted mine for use as a mobile workshop for on site repairs. The flat bed is good for tool storage, but I would want more points to fasten gear at.

It is for my gardening business. Added a custom long tools rack and a small water tank. It is a back saver when loading heavy plants at a low loading height!

Turned it into a mobile clothing store. Racks are displayed by the side panels opening up. For festivals it has been great, but I had to add extra security features, which was a bit of a hassle.

Eh, I'm not entirely convinced. It has a few good features, but the suspension has given me problems when fully loaded. However, for city deliveries, it’s not as smooth as I would like.

Overhyped, in my opinion. Fuel expenses are initially decreased significantly by these measures, however, the cost on maintenance increases in the long run. As expected I've had to replace parts more frequently.

I have a mixed feeling about it. If you’ll generally be using it in the city, it’s great, but for longer highway use, you’ll feel it’s a bit underpowered. I want them to have a more powerful engine option.

I’ve found it to be a hit or a miss in monsoons in Mumbai. It is not easy to hydroplane, but the wipers tend to not perform as well during heavy rains. Visibility becomes an issue.

Up here in the hills, the Dost Lite LX struggles a bit in extreme cold. The heater is not the most effective and the engine takes longer to warm up. It is however reliable when its running.

The AC works overtime in Chennai’s humidity, and it does drain the engine power. It hasn’t failed me yet, even on the most sweltering days.
