    A family member of mine who was a nurse had a car through salary sacrifice before and always said it didn’t work out as well as expected, so that’s made me a bit cautious about going down that route. I can’t ask her because she got caught a nasty cancer mid SS contract and died before her lease term ended. Not sure how they returned the car tbh as well half way contract.

    I’ve also just noticed the range on the Ford Puma Gen-E is around 230 miles, which I’m not sure would be enough for my daily driving as I do quite a lot most days. SS doesn’t give me much option really. Only puma and frontera but with frontera I can get 15000 miles a year allowance.

    I’m trying to reduce how much driving I do where possible (hoping to share some school runs, and my eldest is learning to drive), but at the moment I do feel like a bit of a taxi 😅

    So I’m just trying to weigh up whether salary sacrifice is the right option for me, or if I’d be better sticking with Motability and going for something with a bigger range like enyaq. As I said before I have a child with severe learning disability and already have a Motability car on my son’s name.

    I’ve seen how these discussions can go elsewhere as well and I found this forum much more friendly. So thank you all for making these decisions easier 🙏
