Corrado views ?
« on: 18 September 2011, 17:50 »
What are peoples views on Corrados ? and what engine is preferred ??

I like the thought of G60 but the VR6 sound would be epic

Been looking at them for ages think they are sexy  :smiley:

i keep on thinking about owning a corrado and the urge is getting stronger.

engine wise no idea. looking at the price ranges ect  i would probaly seriosly consider buying  a 16v and fitting a 1.8t
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

agree with Danny here

limited to what you get out of a vr6 and a g60 you have the added cost of servicing the supercharger.

if you are serious there are a few nice examples on edition at the mo dependent on your price range.

They handle fooking well - that's kinda the whole point of a Corrado!

Loved mine when it was on the road.... really should get it back outta the barn.  :grin:

The ABF gave it a good kick up the backside performance-wise, although obviously not another litre, or charging's worth of extra grunt!

I'd do a 1.8T conversion, only I hear they cost about a miiillion pounds.  :grin:
