Bora is basically a Golf version of a station wagon or sedan body. In North America and South Africa, this car was manufactured under the name Jetta. Although the car became shorter than the third generation, the wheelbase lengthened slightly. The suspension has remained old, but has been softened to ensure a more comfortable ride, although the car has been criticized for doing so. In the crash tests, the fourth generation Bora / Jetta received very good scores. The car received five out of five stars for driver and passenger protection at a frontal impact of 56 km / h. In the case of a side impact (at a speed of 62 km / h), Bora was rated in four of the five-star driver and rear passenger seats. Critics have generally praised Bora for its reliable on-road behavior, comfort, practicality, high interior quality, reminiscent of much more expensive models. Other reviewers note that the car, while attractive, is a bit too expensive to choose from in the compact car class, in addition to the rather stiff seats, cramped rear seat.
