What kind of family typically owns a Bora?
2 Answers
In 2001, owning a Bora would definitely indicate wealth. Nowadays, Bora owners generally come from quite ordinary family backgrounds. Below is an introduction to the 2021 Bora model: Body dimensions: Length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1473mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. Powertrain: The entire lineup adopts Volkswagen Group's latest generation EA211 series all-aluminum engines, offering two power options - 1.5L and 1.4TSI, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission, 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, or 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Bora for several years, and I feel that most families who own this car are ordinary people with low to middle incomes, like us salaried workers or small business owners. I hadn't been working for long when I started, with a modest income, so I chose the Bora for its high cost-performance ratio—a new car could be had for around 100,000 yuan, and the loan payments weren't burdensome. Daily maintenance is hassle-free, with fuel costs being economical, averaging about 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Insurance costs a few thousand yuan a year, and maintenance is straightforward, with small part replacements costing just a few hundred yuan, which isn't painful. The space is sufficient for family use, perfect for weekend outings with parents and kids, and the trunk can fit a stroller and luggage. Safety is decent enough, lacking luxury features but meeting daily needs. Friends around me who drive Boras come from similar family backgrounds—parents are teachers or ordinary office workers, with annual incomes between 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, not chasing prestige but valuing practical living. It's easy for beginners to drive, rarely breaks down, and parts are commonly found at repair shops. I'd recommend the Bora for those on a tight budget—it's worry-free and economical. The Bora is also popular in the used car market, making it even more accessible, ideal for families saving for a home or raising children.
