Sign of the times I think

Just watch the Fully charged review on the Ora Funky Cat Video on that forum OraEVs, but the things that stood out to me was the tiny boot in it and the price, starts at
£31999 I remember see a review on this very same car about a year ago when it was said the price would be £25000 and a new smaller Tesla was also to come for around the same figure my I’m I glad we got the MG5 and MG4 Bargins.

Not one of Robert's best reviews, but there are others. I often think they quite the pre vat price to make it more tempting! Certainly the MG ZS has more to offer. It looks neat, but too small for me.

ORA Cat....what's the fuss?

 

[jackois]

I watched it as I originally thought of buying one. Luckily for me, the length of time it took to come to market and the need to move my Polo on before big service (belt, etc.) had me looking at the MG5 LR.
Having bought the 5, there wasn't anything there that had me thinking I hadn't made the right descision annd the longer I have it, the better I like it.

I do agree it wasn't one of Robert's better videos...

Can't understand why Robert and Jonny Smith are so excited about it.

Another compact, unaffordable car. Nothing ground breaking.

It may not be to everyone's liking, but its not unaffordable

It is if your budget is £25k

Depends on your definition of affordable

It's not unaffordable but side by side with the MG4 it comes a poor second on price, range, boot capacity, charging speed and ride.
Apart from that though......

That's true enough, but everything could be classed as unaffordable through the lens of a smaller budget. The EV market definitely needs more offerings at the cheaper end, I just never got the impression from their marketing that this is where Ora are really aiming...it's no accident that it resembles the Mini.

It's not unaffordable but side by side with the MG4 it comes a poor second.

Ultimately that judgement will be be down to the purchaser. Personally I didn't like the quality in a good few areas of the MG4, and the price for the range simply wasn't enough for me to overlook that.

Looks more like a Porsche 911 that's been squashed in a vice

Didn't like the two tone interior either. But then I wasn't too fussed with the MG4 dark interior either.

All personal opinion. Knock 10 grand off and it would be worth a second look!
