Driving
Fantastic all rounder. Comfortable, and reassuring. Give it some stick and it responds exactly how you want it to.
Performance
The torque in this car says it all, and the chassis carries the car perfectly.

Living with it
Reliability
Faultless, no matter how the weather is, or how long since it was last used, it never lets me down.
Image
Unlike the Golf GTi, which this car essentially is, it's not as obvious what potential it has, but that's a plus point. A real stealth car, that's classy with it.
Comfort
Apart from poor leg room in the back, an exceptionally comfortable ride. I also have a Passat Sport and would say that the Bora feels more natural to drive.

Security and Service
Security
Good alarm and immobiliser, do the job.
Service
The local dealer is as reliable as a chocolate teapot, but I'm led to believe that others are a lot better.
