Looking at Bora

[Gravey]

its meant to be 7.5sec. It was never a sub 7 car, stock.

Ahhh cool, thanks for that - I've seen a variety of times for the V6 & the V5 so was never sure what one was correct. I take it the V5 is still about 2 seconds slower, so it would do a 9.5? Feels quicker to me, I get 100 out of 2nd gear.....have to try time it one day

I'd be surprised if it were 2 seconds slower to 100km/h - it has 5/6ths the power, and weighs less due to the fact it doesn't carry around an AWD drivetrain.

A mate of mine bought one a couple of weeks ago, great little car. can get them for $15k over in Melbourne, be worth the trip IMO to buy one, you will get it cheaper if the owner cashes in the reg and doesnt have to do an RWC, hand him (or her) the plates and get relocation slip from vicroads to take it over on the ferry.

I sold a car of mine to a taswegian about 18 months ago and thats how he did it.

Yeah, I was surprised when I read the stats on one site....every site and review you look at seems to be different though. Like I said, the V5 certainly feels reasonably quick. May have to check for myself!

Well, I didn't get the Bora but I got myself a 2003 GTI instead Reflex silver, APR chip and exhaust into standard muffler, APR R1 diverter valve, 17" factory alloys and that's about it for now.

Woo hoo! You'll be chuffed mate. Great pick up.

Nice pick up. Im looking at getting a bora v5 soon. Just hoping they aren't lemons!
