What replaced the VW Bora?
The Volkswagen Bora is a car produced by Volkswagen. It replaced the Vento in 1998, and was replaced by the Jetta in 2005. The Bora is very much part of the Volkswagen family and might be described as a sportier-looking ‘mini’ Passat.
When did VW stop making Bora?
With its rectangular headlights and its sporty, compact notchback body, the Bora, which was produced until 2005, demonstrated a high degree of independence from the technically identical Golf IV. With this sedan, Volkswagen increasingly reinforced its position as a global player. It never quite achieved those dizzy heights, but the Bora is a good and smart-looking car all the same, even if its saloon body restricts its practicality. Where it does score over the Golf is that, thanks to stiffer suspension and superior body control, it’s a better driver’s car than the car it’s based on.
Is a Bora the same as a Jetta?
The Volkswagen Bora is a small family car, the fourth generation of the Volkswagen Jetta, and the successor to the Volkswagen Vento. Production of the car began in July 1999. Carrying on the wind nomenclature from previous generations, the car was known as the Volkswagen Bora in much of the world. While demand for the Bora in Germany was not as strong as it was for its sister model, the Golf, the reverse was true in the USA, where the Bora was marketed as the Jetta and became the most successful model offered by a European automaker.
