Yes, 5000 miles.
We currently hammer my car (as it’s a company car), and will continue when I get my model 3.
She currently does less than 3000 miles in her Jazz. If she is going somewhere far for work she will take my car.
However driving to Liverpool / Manchester is well within the range of the funky cat.

The price is madness, I was looking a 2-3 year old second hand and can’t get somthing much cheaper than this for something sensible.
For school runs, popping to in-laws and to our 2 closest city this is an amazing option.
Don't be so sure about about the insurance side of things. I've just taken out a 2nd policy with a different insurer for my Zoe with 0 years NCD as the other policy is on the VXR with the NCD. Did some quotes with and without the NCD on the Zoe and the difference was only £70 (14 years NCD). You might also be able to get a letter from the company car people saying you've had X years without any claims which insurers often accept as well.
Weirdly it is even cheaper per month on a 2 year lease. I'd be tempted by the shorter term on an unknown entity like the ORA Cat but you run the risk of being in the leasing loop without a deal to jump to in a shorter period of time.

That is dirt cheap tbh. We spend £144 a month/7400 miles a year on fuel commuter costs for both of us (One is a 30 mile and the other 15 mile round trip). Car costs us £450 a year on tax and mot. Add about £400 for servicing. This is on an old car as well so call it £200 a month to just run a commuter car between the both of us.
They recently changed the name to the Ora 03.

Haha yeah I am seriously considering it. There has to be some catch surely? Essentially I am getting a free brand new car (compared to my current outgoing fuel commuting costs) for 2-3 years as I can charge at work for free so fuel costs will be zilch.

They have changed the name, it’s now an ORA 03.
This is a backwards step IMO.
Funky Cat is at least an identity. I’m hoping if the wife does want one the we get a Funky Cat not an ORA 03
Welcome to 2019 again, when I got my Ioniq for ~£180 per month, and cut out basically all fuel costs making the car virtually free vs the previous diesel Merc, back then I was getting paid to charge at least once a week on Agile.
The catch is range and a tiny boot.
EV database has the real world range at 160 miles and it could be as low as 110 miles in winter.
This is second car only territory.
The boot is also only 228 litres.
Going to take a look at one tomorrow and see when the wife thinks. They just offered a 24hr test drive straight away which is interesting.
Guessing it is a pretty large capacity engine at £400 road tax and over 23ppm in fuel?
Perhaps they are just trying to get some units on the road as "Great Wall" isn't exactly a recognised brand. I only know them from a brief appearance years back selling pickup trucks.

- There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
How does that compare to the usual budget suspects, MG et all. On my company car portal, the MG4 and ZS are crazy cheap (ie get money back for driving one 
) wonder how that compares for prices in the general lease market.

The ORA 03 lease deal is amazing right now. Not sure how the cost is justifiable vs OTR price. The reality is probably the OTR is hugely inflated - huge margins. Either that or it is being dumped.
If you can get it through salary sacrifice with insurance and service included on a similar price that would be excellent cos it will insulate you against so many issues.

MG4 is £150 more expensive on leaseloco.
Funny, on my Octopus SS portal the funky cat is £300 (after tax) so the personal lease is way better value. It’s also the same price as the MG4 on the Octopus SS.
