The Volkswagen Bora – Fourth Generation VW

 

 

New on this generation are some advanced options such as rain sensor controlled windshield wipers and automatic climate control. 

  

Safety on the fourth generation cars was a high priority for Volkswagen.  The car was built using such advanced processes as highly mechanized presses, improved measuring techniques, and laser welding of the roof. In crash tests, the fourth generation car received very good marks.
