[Manaz]

Model: Bora V6 4Motion
Engine: 2.8L V6, 150kW, 270Nm
Year: 2003
Any problems: Original suspension had given in the ghost by 90,000km when I bought it. Lowered suspension that replaced it resulted in significant negative camber (~3º) at the rears, required adjustable arms to rectify. Fuse/terminal box above battery already replaced before I got the car (common fault). Haven't (yet, touch wood!) had issues with doors or windows.
