2001 Volkswagen Bora SE review from UK and Ireland
"Performance and economy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Poor panel gapping.
Dashboard rattles.
Broken air vents.
All window seals replaced.
New cup holders.
New seat base.
New pedal box.
Rear ashtray broke twice.
New interior door panels

Etc etc.
General comments?
The car has had a lot of minor faults, but the dealer has put them all right so far.
The car has been fitted with optional VW lowered & uprated suspension. It handles pretty well, for a poor chassis.
A good level of standard equipment.
A great performing diesel engine, very strong on a motorway.
