I am looking at spoiling myself and purchasing a Bora, possibly the V5 2.3lt.

I am not looking for the fasting car on the road, but a little luxury (most of the V5 model came out with leather interior).

Could you please tell me your experience with this car, both good and bad, fuel economy, things to look out for, etc.

Cheers,
John

I have a very good friend with a v5. She is the second owner (I also know the original owner). The only repair maintenance that has been done on the car in 5 years is the key entry battery has needed to be replaced.

Leather interior also. Very comfortable with plenty of go.

The first owner stepped up to a 350Z soft top and has commented on a number of occasions that whilst the Z is a fun sports car he misses the refinement and the build of the Bora.

Hey Brendan,

THanks heaps for your advice,

I took one out for a test drive yesterday, and it felt fabulous.
