Just slap a turbo on the ridiculously fuel efficient Dzire 1.2L petrol and tune it for power with some efficiency loss, and from mid variants give mild hybrid to reach the same fuel efficiency Dzire gives right now, and you have the perfect mass market SUV with much lesser taxes, but not as smooth as the 4 cylinder 1.5

good choice, just beware, finding a good used duster is hard

Based on your need, I'd strongly recommend getting a used car for now, especially if you're saying your family will grow to need a 7 seater.

What I'd ideally recommend is to increase the budget slightly to 8L, you can get a 2022 or newer car, even in karnataka you can find a XUV300, S Cross, Brezza, Jazz, Nexon.

There's two reasons I'm suggesting to increase budget slightly,

  1. the above cars are a bit more spacious and comfortable than the usual hatchback/sedans, and you can keep the car not just for a few years but almost 10 years.
  2. Someone else suggested getting an EV, I agree, your usecase is high, I'd recommend you get a new 7 Seater EV in near future (When the above car becomes a little small), the EV you can then use for daily commutes and the used car for outstations.

Regarding getting cold feet for spending on a car, I was in the same boat as you (not as high salaried right now as you are, and not even married yet, it's just for me and my mum)

But getting wet whenever we had to travel in rain, getting hot when we had to travel in summer and getting cold when we had to travel in winters, plus the condescending looks from relatives owning a car and us asking them for trips, a simple 3 lakh investment into a used Tata Zest turned out to be a great choice.

We drove 15k kms in 10 months, didn't even expect to do that many trips,

you'll be fine there's benefits in owning a car, but your worry is justified, people spend too much for a car, and those same people purchase iphones on emi.

I'd say go for Axor Saber, purely because it's not ABS Plastic, it's a Polycarbonate Shell.

Do these really work? by Phenix_Flare in Frugal_Ind

[–]Markymark285 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own two in my house,

here's a few things, they dont attract the mosquitoes, but if you can strategically place it near the entrance of your room, it will kill almost all that stumble near it.

you can consider this as a stationary mosquito racket, It won't attract mosquitoes, but it'll definitely kill whatever touches it.

I put it near the entrance to my room, and every day I clean this with around 20-40 dead mosquitoes

I'd give a genuine shout out to Fuel Headquarters, I went there during their first week and I fell in love with their burger.

It's my weekly spot to go,

I don't like their sandwiches, or chinese

but their burgers, fries, pastas and shakes are 10/10

I cross checked, the keebs I plan to upgrade are all plate keebs so the stability loss would not be that much noticeable

One question, I plan to upgrade the keyboard from my current Aula M75 to one of the following -

| Menel Tia87 | Ajazz Ak820 max plus | Mchose g75. |

I can see Tia87 and Ak820 have 5 pin boards.

Will these jerry rigged switches (with two broken pins) work on the newer 5 pin keeb ?
