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

Oh well, you’re just getting older like all of us… School runs, after-school runs, then they grow up and want license of their own and you paying for it all… 🙂
From what you have described, by definition you will be doing overtime 10,000 miles per annum. As I advised above, I would definitely check your extra mileage.
With regards to Frontera – is it Ultimate trim with an extended range? I liked this car for the PCH price they offered. Note that it’s sister on Motability, C3-Aircross Max is zero deposit, although with small 44kwh battery.
