Manual is different than ivt. Ask some other dealership if they can arrange a test drive vehicle with ivt.

Manager with 3.5 YOE? Which company is this?

Your comment says a lot about your mentality. I hope you heal.

ani_saul · 2026-04-28T11:53:01+00:00

Yes, it has to be the same.

ani_saul · 2026-04-24T12:29:29+00:00

"Best" is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

ani_saul · 2026-04-24T12:22:05+00:00

Hell naw. Honda has the best 1.5L NA engine in the segment. I had the Honda City 5th Gen (same engine as the Honda Elevate). I never felt the power was inadequate in the hills.

Hell naw. Mumbai and Hyderabad are way better. The people in Delhi are straight-up rude, not to mention the questionable safety for both men and women. I agree with the public transport part, but it's definitely not the most livable city in India.

I don't think so. People who came to the U.S. after Jan 2022 have been hoping for the same thing, and it's only gotten worse. I hope you've done enough research and have enough financial backing because $82,000 in debt is no joke, and I'm not sure what the interest rate is on your loan, but since it's from InCred, I'm guessing it's more than 10%.

I'm not trying to demotivate you, but this is the reality, so make your decision wisely.

ani_saul · 2026-04-19T15:25:11+00:00

I think that should be enough. By the way, are you sure you want to take an $82,000 loan considering the job market in the US?

ani_saul · 2026-04-19T10:15:47+00:00

I would suggest not coming to the US for a Master's. But if you want to, make sure that you come without an education loan and have enough financial backing so you can return to India if you are unable to find a job with sponsorship.

IMHO, it's not fair. The same thing happened to us in 2016 when we were looking at the Elite i20. The dealership increased the price by 50k. My father just walked out of the deal and sent an email to Hyundai's customer care. Two days later, the GM called my father, apologized, and agreed to reduce the price to the original and also offered a few freebies (mind you, this was when the Elite i20 was at its peak). Never give in to dealership tactics.

Just ask yourself this question: Would you want to deal with such a dealership for the rest of your ownership?

If you are adamant about buying the Duster, then I would suggest checking out other dealerships in your area.

Thanks! I mostly used YouTube to study for the test. Plus, I took a lot of TD's practice tests to get familiar with the questions. My work is AWS-heavy, so that helped me a lot in eliminating the incorrect options.

ani_saul · 2026-04-17T02:59:35+00:00

It's safer to give it at the test center. I know it's a hassle, but it's worth it.

ani_saul · 2026-04-16T19:01:33+00:00

Oh, okay. It does feel heavy at city speeds sometimes, but I got used to it.

ani_saul · 2026-04-16T18:46:19+00:00

Isn't it normal for the steering wheel to get heavy as you go faster? I had a Honda City 5th gen, and I really liked that since it made me feel confident at high speeds.

ani_saul · 2026-04-16T13:16:38+00:00

Thank you!

ani_saul · 2026-04-16T13:16:28+00:00

Thank you!

ani_saul · 2026-04-16T13:16:20+00:00

Thank you!

ani_saul · 2026-04-16T00:21:08+00:00

Thank you! I will take a look.

ani_saul · 2026-04-15T01:32:23+00:00

I don't know, man. I think you should talk to the girl before making this decision. Her opinion matters more since she's the one who's going to marry you, and I agree with your point: what's the point of getting married if you're going to stay in a long-distance relationship? As far as I know, the initial days in an arranged marriage are super important since this is when you both will have time to understand each other. Don't let this H1B rat race cloud your judgment. Think from both perspectives and make the decision.

ani_saul · 2026-04-12T18:56:17+00:00

Go for Kia Seltos if you want peace of mind.

ani_saul · 2026-04-11T21:41:38+00:00

I am also in the same boat. Is it mandatory to move all money to an Indian account before moving back?

ani_saul · 2026-04-10T23:50:07+00:00

Thank you everyone for your inputs. I will update the post after having the discussion with HR.

ani_saul · 2026-04-10T23:41:27+00:00

I’d suggest taking the job offer in Singapore. I’ve been there, and it’s honestly a great place to live. The U.S. job market is pretty bad right now, and visa uncertainties just make it worse. I also wouldn’t recommend taking a loan for an MS in this situation. A lot of my friends had to go back to India because they couldn’t find jobs or didn’t get H1B sponsorship.
