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.
