Volkswagen Bora Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Volkswagen Bora 1999

I really like my Bora; it’s nicely medium sized, runs very well and is very economical. However, one huge disappointment is that the front suspension springs have broken and just had to be replaced. Although it is a 1999 V reg, it has only done under 60,000 miles and I really wouldn’t have expected such a catastrophic failure of such a component. I’ve had lots of old cars, using them well into the 100,000 miles mark and nothing like this has happened to any of them and I wouldn’t expect it to happen on a VW. It has certainly made me think twice about replacing my VW with another one, when the time comes.
