Corrado or Golf - Which one should I buy????
« on: 20 May 2006, 11:15 »
Hello All!!

I am a new comer to the VW brand and am currently looking at two different cars.  I'm more interested in performance and handling than comfort, any advice from you guys on here would be greatly appreciated.

1) Golf GTI 2.0 16v 1997 (P) - 5 door - This car is standard with about 70k miles.

OR

2) Corrado 2.0 16v 1993(K) - This was an ex-show car with about 10k spent on mods but I've not asked details yet - mileage is about 130k I believe.

Both cars full FSH.

Price is the same for both - around 2500 quid.

Any ideas which way to jump??

Cheers

Dave

I'd go for the raddo over the mk3 every time.

yeah good point, don't bother with anything other than a vr6 or a g60, corrado's are bloody heavy, almost as much as a mk3 but they handle like a mk2....
