I'm a veteran car enthusiast who's been into cars since the 1990s, so I know the ins and outs of the Volkswagen Bora. Actually, the Bora was the name given to the fourth-generation Volkswagen Jetta in the Chinese market. It was launched in 1998 and underwent a model change around 2005. Back then, it was incredibly popular in China, hailed as the family car of the gods. Most of its engines were 1.6L or 1.8L gasoline units, known for their reliability and durability. Everyone who drove it praised its stable handling and dependability on long trips, though the interior was somewhat plain. The success of the Bora helped Volkswagen firmly establish its footing in China. Later, the new Bora was based on a more modern chassis. Looking back, it represented an era—classic and practical. Even now, you can still find well-maintained old Boras in the used car market.
