Looking at Bora

**TazzyVR6** · 09-09-2009, 09:28 PM

Hey all.
I'm in the market for a car and the only appealing cars I can find in Tas are VW's and the odd Audi

Been looking through the Mk4/Bora forum for the last day or two now. A search for 'Bora' has returned a fairly positive view of the Bora. I'm looking at this one for sale in Tas:

I'm coming from a Mk3 VR6, has anyone driven both that could give a comparison? What do ppl think about the asking price for the one I listed? My dad is going to look at it for me this weekend so i'll let you know what he thinks.
Thanks

Beautiful cars. In comparison to your VR6 it's going to be much more refined, quiet, and smoother. I'd say it'd be a little bit quicker too: more power, but more weight. But AWD, leather, and 6-speed

Most people hate driving in the wet.

Bora V6 4mo...oh yeah.. Ka chow!

Unless you want to get busy and transplant a 1.8 20VT into a 2.0 body and make a Bora T, although it might be easier to just import one from US or UK

Had mine for just over 2 years and still love it like day 1.

If we taswegians feared driving in the rain i fear we'd never get to drive at all! Unfortunatly the bora sold saturday morning (had organised to see the car that afternoon) so the dreams have been dashed, for now...
