Any knowing problems with the 2005 Volkwagen bora

The used car safety rating, which is based on real world data, indicate that the Bora is a safe pick for occupant safety in a crash (Golf/Bora 99-04) so on the safety side of things this is a good pick. The Bora is based on the Golf platform and in this year range we are aware of some issues with the automatic transmission which can be costly to repair. But if it is a manual gearbox then it will be the better choice.
