The Volkswagen Golf Bora, produced from 1998 to 2000, was a compact sedan variant of the fourth generation Volkswagen Golf (Mk4). While technically a separate model, the Bora shared its underpinnings, platform, and many components with the Golf, effectively making it a four-door version with a more spacious rear cabin and trunk. It was primarily marketed in Europe and other global markets, where it replaced the Volkswagen Vento and competed with other compact sedans like the Opel Astra, Ford Focus, and Toyota Corolla.

The Bora was available with a range of engine options, including petrol and diesel units, ranging from 1.4L to 2.8L in displacement. Notably, the 1.8T turbocharged petrol engine proved popular, offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The Bora featured a modern and functional interior design, with a focus on driver ergonomics. It also incorporated safety features like airbags, ABS, and seatbelt pretensioners, making it a solid option in its segment. Although the Bora was discontinued in 2005, its legacy lives on as a reliable and practical compact sedan, cherished by many owners for its driving experience and overall value proposition.
