Relatively easy to find parts


Bad Points

Easy to blow the charger if you abuse or ignore its vital signs
Need to watch it as it is still on the procurement list

Constant agony of trying to avoid want to modify it
Too bad VW did not make this a RWD


General Comments

The Volkswagen Corrado G60 Supercharged is an awesome car. It is one I had been looking for some time and luckily found one that had not been molested and very low mileage. Although I had initial thoughts to modify it, it is in such great shape that I have decided to keep it stock. There are just too few of these left that have not been worked over to become tuners and racers. So a good stock profile is a keeper now that it is being billed as a collector.

In stock profile it sports modest speed but superb handling. Its demeanor, low profile, and swing back design turns heads, and promotes curious question from on-lookers.

It does take a bit of mechanical and diagnostic ability to maintain one now that it is getting up in age. OEM parts are still relatively easy to find and there is plenty of information throughout the web in forum and video that one can tap for routine maintenance. The cult following on this car made sure that they kept each other well informed.
