1993 Volkswagen Corrado 2 Dr SLC Hatchback Reviews

I love my Corrado, even with the problems it has given me (what else do you expect from a 15 year old car?).  Its handles like its on rails (the coilovers help), and is a blast to drive day in and day out.  The VR roars when you need it to, but it can be a civil engine if you want.

Like almost every VW I know, there are squeaks and rattles, but they add more character to the car if anything-and hunting them all down would take weeks.  Repairs can be quite costly, since the numbers have dwindles greatly in the past years, but its worth it.  save yourself some money too, but a bentley manual and do the work yourself.

The car looks contemporary regardless what is near it.  It has a timeless body and many people seem to mistake it for a mid/late 90's car and seem quite shocked when I tell them its a 93.  And the wing.  Thats the best thing ever.  Goes up at 45, back down at 15 and it just adds a touch of awesome to the car.  Interior wise, the leather is probably the best option, and the 93+ dash is more modern than the predecessors.  There are more switches and buttons than I was used to, but it is all laid out in a seemingly sensible manner and allows you to keep you eyes on the road.

Heres the downside.  Its a Corrado.  Parts are hard to come by, and people who know a lot about them are even harder to find.  get a bantley manual and learn how to work on it yourself if you want one.  I get about 25+mpg (on par with my old 1.8t) driving somewhat spiritedly.

Overall the car is a blast.  I would recommend it only to someone who really understands what they are getting themselves into though as I even find myself struggling at points.  Do your research and buy a car in good shape over a "deal".
