Model: Bora Black Manual
Engine: 2.0 with 85 KW
Year: 2001
Rating out of 10 = 8.

Window Regulator on the passenger door
MAF, O2 sensor, Thermo Stat etc etc

Gripes:
Rear ride height compared to the front.
All the plastic bits (windows etc) that just break down in time.
The wooden gear nob when i have a aluminum looking trim else where?
Headlights seem to be a bit average..?
Doesn't indicate when oil is low (only alarms you when is completely run out)
Its never clean!! (not VWs fault though)

Likes:
The sound of the inline four, the amazing fuel economy (still better then alot of new small cars)
Stock sound system, i think its very good for a car of its price.
Great looking car.
Parts are generally cheaper then other European cars IMO.
For a 2 litre it seems to have a fair bit of go.

Modifications:
Audi A8 18" wheels (in storage)
DVD flip out display
Sub and Amp (sold )
Driving Lights (only one left lol)
Tinting
OEM Roof Racks
BBS RS 17x9
Coilovers
Sway bar
Adjustable Endlinks
1/2 Joeymod headlights with inbuilt fogs

Thinking about:
Debadging and filling.
4mo front lip
Euro style number plates.
Bags if i don't buy a new car first

This was my first car, got it second hand with 60,000km on the clock, but comparing to my mates and family cars i think its a winner. Always gets a look in a town full of P platers driving old Commodores, old Falcons, lancers, and excels!
