If you are patient, then it is definitely worth it. It takes time to accumulate savings, but they do accumulate. I am definitely seeing the benefits after two years. However, you should expect a long term commitment.

There is hype for a reason and for the right use case. It is perfect for my intra-city delivery business. I wouldn’t suggest it for businesses that require carrying large weights or working in hilly areas.

Surprisingly well! At first, I was skeptical but the Dost CNG LS has good traction even on wet roads. Don’t expect it to be a monster truck in deep water, though.

It's okay, but nothing spectacular. I did have a few scary moments with hydroplaning, and the wipers could be better. Heavy downpours should be extra cautious.

I’ve driven through some pretty nasty monsoon conditions and the Dost CNG LS has held its ground. The only problem I have encountered is water splashing from trucks in front onto the windshield so the wipers sometimes can't keep up.

Not great, to be honest. It has a bit low ground clearance to take serious waterlogging. Other vehicles have plowed through so I have had to turn back a few times.

It’s fine in light rain but I wouldn’t press it in severe conditions. Even though I know the CNG tank is supposed to be sealed, I am a bit nervous with the CNG tank location in deep water.

I've been pleasantly surprised. It seems to have good weight distribution and is stable in strong crosswinds. Make sure your tires are serviceable as well.

It's a mixed bag. Stability is good but the defrosting is not so good. In humid conditions, I often have to wipe the inside of the windshield manually.

I believe it is better at handling monsoons than some of the larger vehicles I have driven. It is compact in size which helps navigate flooded streets. However, just make sure to have the ground clearance in mind.

No big issues so far, but I’m always extra cautious with CNG system during heavy rains. During monsoon season, I take care to check all the connections and valves.

Fair, only I wish it had better waterproofing round the doors. During particularly heavy downpours, water has seeped in. Nothing major, but it's annoying.

Absolutely! I use my Dost CNG LS all the time for weekend trips. The kids love to ride in the back (when safely parked, of course), and the front seats are surprisingly comfortable.

It's doable, but not ideal. The main disadvantage for family use is the lack of rear seats. I tried with a bench in the back, this is not very safe nor comfortable for long trips.

I wouldn't recommend it. The ride quality and features are all commercial vehicle at heart. Rather, save up for a proper family car.

In fact, it’s not that bad for short trips. The cargo area is perfect for bringing coolers and gear to picnics sometimes. You won't get luxury car comfort.

I've done it a few times, and now it is a little bit fun kind of way. This serves as a great conversation starter at picnic spots! Honestly, I wouldn’t do that regularly.

Expectations have to do with your family. It can be a blast if they're adventurous and don't mind roughing it a bit. On the other hand, if they are used to car comfort they may not enjoy it.

It has been a great dual purpose vehicle. For business on weekdays, family outings on weekends. All that’s left to do is to add some cushions in the back and you’re good to go!

It is not ideal, but it is better than having no family vehicle. Some of our Dost trips have been memorable. In fact, the kids like this better than our old hatchback!
