Can anyone give some info on the VW Corrado's. I saw this one online and i know a few things about VW but not much on the Corrados. What are the pros and cons to these things. Here is the one I saw for sale.

Corrado's are awesome, but in all honesty they can be quite a headache at times. Most are plagued with electrical or mechanical gremlins. The one pictured there apparently is a G60 model (supercharged 4-cyl). The motors are built very solid (forged internals), but the supercharger can become a grenade around 100k miles. Make sure it is running a new charger if you plan to buy it.

Basically, my recommendation is that Corrados are meant for hardcore VW enthusiasts who don't mind having a few problems from time to time. I would buy one in a heartbeat (Corrado SLC w/ VR6) if I had some extra cash laying around.

 

everything he says is true. i own one and had to take it off the road just so it won't see anymore miles. i am slowy getting all the electrical stuff taken care of, but as of now, i had a spark plug with bad treads and fucked up my head. so i'm rethreading it and putting him back on the road. i wouldn't trade it for the world.

it's a 92 slc.

 

I have a friend who's owned like 9 of them so far. They're great, fun cars with a lot of personality... but if you can't work on a car yourself, stay away from the Corrado.

 

frank owned every corrado ever made. ask him about them. and yes ^^^ another true post.

another one, AAA, own a tow truck.

 

Two words: Nightmare and Theshit......damn, I couldnt think of a second word....the nightmare just kinda stuck

 

Ask "sketchy" He seems to think its was gods gift to earth.

 

haha I saw him and his green corrado the other day... that fool is always at the fish store, or starbucks ohh yea his id is VA94Corrado or something like that

 

Corrado owners need extra cash or spare Corrados - we have one driver and two parts cars. Had TWO running but I am not going to go there again.

Oh yeah - a garage is nice, too . . . and marry your mechanic.

 

corrados are excellent vehicles. handling, weight, speed when tuned. are awesome, but from two people i know with one, learn the car, and have plenty of tools and time. they require love and attention like a 5 foot 5 supermodel on a new york runway.
