Jim 1 Posted May 16, 2009 Gonna be the old fart and say I don't like it. It's nothing new - slammed to the floor with BBS splits and flared arches! Nice camera work though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adz The Rat 0 Posted May 17, 2009 You know your car is awesome when it is in HD. I love that car, I was thinking of getting a BMW but when I saw that I thought its a Bora next without a doubt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Aye keeping my eye out for a Bora next... just a nicer look than a mk4 goof... Jim, just slammed wheels and arches I bet they said that about Jay's/Sukh's ones too! :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted May 17, 2009 Ok - maybe they've done more to it (not that they bother to show it in the video) but I think my feelings still stand. I don't think it helps that the Bora is a bit ugly - so no amount of bling can really help it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted May 17, 2009 I clicked on the link expecting to fall head over heels but I'm with Jim on this one. Even with flared arches and wheels it's just a bit bland imo. The Bora is one of the most generic looking cars VW has ever produced I reckon. And I know I'm hardly one to talk when it comes to lowering cars but that's just going way too far! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted May 17, 2009 i like how it looks.... this vid has made me think that if I ever need a daily then ill be investing in the Boxy dub offering :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted May 17, 2009 It looks ridiculous if you ask me! How the hell they give MOT's to these cars is totally beyond me really. I mean you just cant drive the damn thing anywhere for a start as its too low, meaning dangerous! weather it has air ride or not! and the wheels stick out too much and tyre stretch what is that all about? I'm sure tyre companys would void any kind of liability (insurance too) as they are not being used as they were correctly intended for! Sorry to the guys who love this look but i really dont get it with all the safety issues going on! Waits patiently to be shot! :2gunfire: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted May 17, 2009 I'm sold on old Merc's being daily drivers. Mine has been fecking fantastic. There is an 230TE on Autotrader at the minute (W124 like mine) in metallic grey, with the 2.3 litre engine, full leather etc for £750.. I'm really tempted to upgrade! Even with the 2 litre engine, mine just wafts along whether it's at 30 or 80MPH and cabin noise barely changes. And you can fit ANYTHING in it. At work the other week I put a huge ass Sun server on a PALETTE in the boot and still had no problems fitting in 3 extra large IT guys to help me unload the server at the other end... It's awesome.

Sonicriot13 0 Posted May 17, 2009 As the old saying goes "if you need a boot get a Benz". :lol: I just made that up by the way.... Seriously though some Mercs do have great boot space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted May 17, 2009 The older Mercs go on and on and on as well, there is a reason why most taxi's you see in Europe are Mercs! I had a few of them years ago and they were great cars! Unfortunately though the level of build quality isn't what it used to be with the newer ones :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Love the video, presents the car really well. I think the styling is reasonably understated and very well executed. Not wild about the sills and i'm sure it would be a headache to drive daily but there's not a lot to dislike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_leon_ 0 Posted May 17, 2009 have to agree with Jim - i think the Bora is a very plain and ugly looking barge - i can't understand people's love for them. fair enough if you need a larger workhorse - but for a project car... there are so many cars to choose, why would you choose a Bora for goodness sakes...

VAG-hag 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Mk2 golf then. :lol: That's what we all bl**dy end up with. :lol: Id love a MkII but was taking into consideration the comforts that would come with the newer boxy brother :D i see a few of them around and when done right they look great.... definately a less is more car - understated blah blah blah + V6 4Mos are ripe for tuning :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Another in the old fart camp. The car generally looks quite nice but the stretch on those tyres is just plain ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not in ALL US states... in fact in some US States, general roadworthyness seems not to be as big an issue as emissions! As Kip said it has Air and will usually ride about 2" above where it is, so has the best of both worlds... Car's been built as an OEM+ looker not a performance car... and on that job I think it's spot on (notice the non-factory chrome mouldings anyone?)
