The 2.8 is a cracking engine and very reliable, and the dash clocks in a bora are so much nicer than the mk4 golf ones! Make sure you put a cat back miltek on there too for that v6 howel

Sorry to hear Dave,but hope so now you will be happy
About the Bora and VW,i've drive the 2.8L which has been nice to drive,but not as good like ST220,which my brother have before.
Interior(on MK4) wise i was been disappointed with the Bora,i feel like i've been at Leon which has been cheaper too
Not sure how much you are looking spend,but 2.8L will drink as Subaru,insurance should be cheaper on Bora
Enjoy new drive if you will go with Bora or other makers...
Some forums are pain in **** matey

I used to get 5mpg out of my golf r32 and that was the latest shape
Would of thought on the bora driving it hard you will see 12+
There's only 1 decent vw.....gttdi

My mk3 12v vr6 sees 18 if I'm hoofing it round the twisties, and I can get 32+ on a steady motorway journey. I'm running 205bhp in mine and it ain't standard. I dont think those figures are bad tbh

What vw forum have you joined mate. I'm on vr6oc forum as I drive a 12v mk3 vr. If your on there make yaself known. When I joined vr6oc when I broke my classic track, took me a while to get used to the forum. There aren't as many members as in thf Scooby circles but there are certainly people on there in the know, and there is plenty oc handy info. I bought my mk3vr golf after breaking my 500 horse track wagon. It's nit got the power of the Scooby but it has plenty of power not to bore me and I still have fun with it. Plus the vr6 sound track is one that only the vr engines produce and no other v6 can match. Good luck with ya new venture. If ya nit on vr6oc get yaself on there. I'm under same username as on here
did you see the RR ays pics ???? pauls car made just shy of 390 with a bolt on holset turbo.

VR6 engine.......
from experience,
lazy and completely underwhelming as a standard unit
hot cams needed and lots more
Best experienced if you are over 65 years old

Everyone's opinions differ I guess. They are fairly lardy in standard form, however mine is not over modded, just breather mods n a chip and it's now not so lardy with the figures it's making. I wouldnt think I'd be to embarrassed by a standard wrx which isn't a bad feat for a 16 year old fwd piece of ****! Lol driver ability is critical in fwd cars more so than 4wd.
