yeah a Bora is what the jetta is called in Europe and other parts of the world other than the united states. the real boras have a fatter front bumper and rear bumper. the US models are stuck with pansy looking ones.

The Bora name applies to the Mk4 iteration of the U.S. Jetta. The Mk3 was called a Vento in Europe.

Did you happen to notice the headrests? the Bora has headrests similar to the American New Beetle.

The bora also has lighter bumpers since in Europe the regulationg isnt as bad as the US in bumper protection. The plate recess in the rear is wider for the euro plate

Anyone know Darron Alvarrenga? He drives a Bora (or a Jetta with Bora logos) and it gets raced (at least at SCCA events). It looks real nice.
Should I get the VW I might be a copy cat... or should I not do that? I think it adds a nice twist to things and since there are SO may Jettas about town it would be nice to stand out a tad.
