Mel4fun Neutral Newbie August 18, 2004 Share August 18, 2004 Try www.vagsg.com/forums Basically, the specs are as follows:- 1.6L 8V 4 cylinder engine 101bhp @5400 rpm 145NM @ 3800rpm 4-spd auto The later version has better trimmings, and I suppose the interior options are better too. Check out at VagSg....all the VW lovers are there...... Should be able to answer your friend's queries. BTW.....beware the Mod Virus in there.....

Vtim 3rd Gear August 19, 2004 Share August 19, 2004 hi bros/sis, i got a frd who is interested to get a used bora abt 2-3 yrs old. price is abt $65 - $70k. anyone who is a bora or VW expert can tell us abt this car... engine, power, speed, the good and bad points... all comments are welcomed. well, still can press the price a little bit engine wise, ok lar, solid built but ddon't expect to have much power as compare to the Honda's Vtec & Toyota's VVTi hor handling wise definately better than the Japs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
