Overview

Reviews

Designed from the outset to be Volkswagen's version of a sports car, the Corrado originally was equipped with a supercharged 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine that was borrowed from the Golf. But in 1992 VW added an SLC package powered by a new 2.8-liter V6. The intent was that, in fairly quick order, the V6 would replace the supercharged four-cylinder as the Corrado's standard engine. In keeping with its sports car nature, the Corrado was equipped with a fairly generous list of high-end features, including a rear spoiler that automatically deployed itself when the car reached 45 miles per hour and automatically retracted when the car's speed fell below 12 mph. Other standard features included bucket seats, power heated mirrors, power windows, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, a trip computer, 15-inch allow wheels, air conditioning, and power door locks. Options included anti-lock brakes, leather seats, and a sunroof. As expected, the Corrado's power and handling were among its positive points cited by drivers. There were even those who felt that the Corrado was one of the finest cars produced by Volkswagen. But others noted that old VW problems, such as frequent and expensive repairs, tended to creep in with the vehicle, muting its sports luxury pedigree.

The Supercharged Corrado is spectacular. Whilst there was a 2.9 V6 Corrado available, the G60 in my opinion has the edge from having equivelant performance with a much lighter block. After a few tweaks, this 16 year old car is as good as any modern car, if not better. The build quality is phenominal. I know this from being hit by a 40 ton lorry on the m4. And for me, it's the most beautiful car ever made. The downside is of course cost. I average about 22mpg, plus it IS an aging car, though it has never broken down on me, a lot of servicable parts are reaching the end of their useful lives and as such, need replacing. At the end of the day though, if you can afford to run a Corrado it's well worth it, it's a true modern classic with beautiful lines and truely brilliant performance.

The Corrado is a true enthusiasts' car. They are uncommon, unpopular, and maintenance nightmares. But if you love Volkswagens, then you know what a Corrado is and you probably want one. One of the first cars with the legendary VR6 and often referred to as the "Poor Man's Porsche." It handles well, drives well, and sounds amazing. It is also decently quick for a 90's coupe.

This car is amazing to drive, hell its amazing to sit in. The interior is very sporty and quite luxurious. The car handles amazingly. The VR6's sound is intoxicating.

A classic waiting in the wind. Young enough to be good to drive but old enough to have been forgotten. Drives as well as, if not better than many modern cars. (top gear) British magazine CAR named it one of 25 cars to drive before you die.
