Volkswagen Bora (1999 - 2005) 1.8T Sport (180ps) 4d (6) (2003/53) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

We are OAP's who still like to live a little.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

It is like any other saloon model driven by elderly people at below the speed limit assuming we don't like excitement in our journeys.

Would you buy this car again and why?

We would love to buy this car again as it meets out needs perfectly but there is still nothing out there to match it.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not found anything yet still looking.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£16,250

When did you buy the car?

March 2003

Did you get a good deal and why?

Did not trade in our Renault as price offered was very poor. Not sure that the deal was the best but were fairly happy with the outcome.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Large boot, sporty power.

What was the dealer like?

The actual salesperson was fine but we were directed to a finance "person" although we wanted to pay cash. The finance person was totally objectionable and tried to sell us extras that we had made clear we did not want. We almost cancelled the deal but were too polite to do so.

What's it like to drive?

Very responsive and economical.

What's it like to park?

Easy enough good visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Fingers crossed not much more than usual wear and tear.

What's most practical about your car?

Size of boot for golf equipment. Plenty of space for everything inside the car. Well supporting seats.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I love the walnut trim.
