2005 Volkswagen Bora S 1.6
Summary:
It's still a very solid little VW
Faults:
Brake judder.
Glove box broke.
12v socket stopped working.
A bit rusty around the arches now.
Plus all the usual consumables expected of its age and miles.
General Comments:
Bought this VW Bora as a cheap run-about a few years ago and it has delivered.
Been a great little car, no major problems.
Looks and feels modern still for a 2005 car. Pretty smart looking - dark blue with alloys. Relatively comfortable though not the most spacious inside.
Solid interior, quality feel. Enough electrics for me even though this is a basic model.
1.6 petrol engine is not fast, but does 37 mpg all day with mixed driving style.
The Bora is a rare car now, and it is basically just a Golf with a boot. Still worth a look if you find a looked after one at a nice price.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
