Bora 130TDI.

and a cheeky map.

Be a lot cheaper to run than most of the rest of the things being talked about in here.

Probably faster than some of them, too.

I concur!

Ive gotta say even though the Bora may be one of the most sensible choices it's hardly going to win any merits for appearance is it.

Get the bora, then you don't have to do all the popular mods that mk4 owners do. E.g.
Bora vents
Bora clocks
Bora front
And so on...

The thing I hate about the mk4 is how common it is, especially amongst chavs, I just want to sell mine for that fact along even though I've had no issues with mine. However with that money I'd be looking at diesels, for running costs and reliability. If you want a petrol the 1.8T isn't to bad, a dull engine out the box, but a remap put it to how it should have come out the factory, the earlier units such as the AGU seem to be the most reliable due to a lot less electronic components.

VW Golf - k03 AGU - 200BHP
