Bora boot space

Is the boot in a Bora much different in size to the Golf?

 

About the same size I think, but obviously a smaller opening on the Bora.

I know from experience that you can get a complete 20v in the boot of a Bora though...getting it out again is a bit harder...

 

boot slightly longer, overall volume about the same

of course the hatchback handy for the tip!

 

Longer, but due to crappy stiffening very low behind rear seats.

 

Thanks, how much bigger is the Passat boot?

I'm going to be replacing the mk1 & need to get something more practical.

 

The passat will be deeper again. I'd go for an estate because with a boot you will always be restricted by the height.

Also the rear leg room in the golf/bora is crap

 

Boot capacities (volume in litres)

From our road test figs ( rear seat up / rear seat folded):

Bora 456 / 784 litres

Mk 4 Golf 330 / 1184

Mk 4 Golf Estate 460 / 1470

MK 5 Jetta 437 / 1390

B5 Passat 475 / 800

B5 Pasat Estate 495 / 1600

B6 Passat 485 / 2004

Exact numbers don't really mean much, but the relative volumes might give you some idea of what you can get in them..
