Volkswagen Corrado VR6 - Looking dated but still the daddy of the V6 pack, where did Audi, Alfa et al get inspired for there 3.2 v6's? the Corrado!! Sounds great, goes well, admittedly is a tad heavy on fuel unless you drive it softly, but you can't!! LUUURVE the sound of the engine, and if you buy a car like this you dont care about the fuel, you wont be a lentil eating sandal wearer who thinks of environmental issues anyway, just buy one, you'l' love it!

Ive had my Volkswagen Corrado VR6 for 2 years now, ive always been a lover of this great looking car since the day I saw a sweet VR6 storm punch it up my road, I turned round and thought ive never heard anything sound so sweet and I had to get one.
I had a Renualt 19 16v with Hill power stage before, and I thought that was pokey, but it seems pretty slow now, the Corrado is something else the power delivery is so smooth all the way through.

Written on: 22/07/2010
In 1995 I debated whether to get a Corrado for too long. All Storms sold out very quickly but I managed to buy a new 'standard' VR6 in March 1996. Never regretted it - but it hasn't been cheap to maintain now that car has covered 140,000 miles. Engine still pulls really well - Mobil 1 oil always used from new. A great all-round drive despite front-end being a bit heavy. Kept car standard as this will be desirable IF one day it gets sold. That will be a sad day indeed. Well worth sticking to... (read more)

The Corrado is definitely a classic car to own, to buy a decent one that has not been thrashed or seriously messed around with is somewhat hard to do.
If you own a decent one and can afford to keep it then I think within in time they will be come a major classic.
They say that the Corrado are few and far between, I find this hard to believe, okay so they are not roaming around in droves but hey, on no less then four occasions in one day I had flashing lights and waves from other Corrado...

The Volkswagen Corrado is a low down sporty car with great looks and nice bucket style seats with pretty good handling. Mine was a 1.8 16v and had seen a hard life. It had over-heating problem, head gasket problem, brake problems you name it I had the problem. I'm not saying they are all like mine was but be careful who has been driving it before. (read more)

This is my second Volkswagen Corrado VR6. I started off with an 85 Scirocco. Absolutely loved the car. Drove it till I blew a rod. My mechanic had a 1990 Corrado G60 for sale. Test drove it and thought "Wow! this car feels even better than the Scirocco. "Took care of that car and was planning to keep it for a while. I had just replaced the heater-core ($1,700.00) when my mechanic called and told me he had a near mint 1993 VR 6 with 122,000 mi. on it.
Again, I test drove the 1993, and...

Just bought a Volkswagen Corrado VR6 and drove my first 50 miles which has definitley confirmed that I am happy with the car. I have wanted this car since I was a teenager because of it's looks alone and was not disappointed with the performance. This car is deceptive in that it is faster than it feels which is a sure good sign.
Having owned a lightly modified 205 1.9 for 3 years I'm sure the handling is better (as well as the performance but I suppose that is obvious) I have also driven...

I can't wait to modify it (she's mostly stock) I've had to replace the heater core :( and the CV boots. Other than that though, I am impressed! Why doesn't VW make another one like it???

I bought my first Volkswagen Corrado VR6 Sports Car in 2001 and it has been the best car I have ever owned due to the comfort levels and performance. It brings a smile to my face every time I see it. It's also one of those cars you can't help but look back at once you've parked it up. It's suprisingly economical and I average around 30mpg. I had to move to the USA last year due to my job changing and I hunted around for about a month looking at other cars eventually deciding on a Toyota... (read more)

Interested in Adams comments as I'm currently beginning a search for a decent VR6 [or SRC as they are called in the US]
<br>I live in Texas 6 months of the year and will be returning there from England shortly.
<br>I looked at several VR6's when I was last there and found that they really were pretty sad - either thrashed or poorly maintained [or both]
<br>If Adam should read this he may like to contact me, I may be interested in his one - I understand his [and his wife's] feelings!

Though speed isn't everything, there aren't many cars that will out perform the Volkswagen Corrado VR6.
I feel the Corrado VR6 is already a classic!
It's lines and shape, give it an awesome presence on the road, and if left unattended attracts an enormous amount of attention. If often have to educate the unknowing that the Corrado is not a reshaped Golf, and Karmman and not VW built it"

I bought my VW Corrado VR6 in December 2003 just after Top Gear featured it. I had been on the hunt for one for about 4 months previous to this and was panicking about the prices going through the roof! Full VAG service history, 41K on the clock and one previous owner. The R.A.C. did a full check and found.... a split in the rear wiper blade! The deal was done and another VW added to the stable. Poor old Scirocco.
It was a pig to get insured as no paperwork was supplied for the immobiliser....

Intereesting that you mention the petrol smell. I have a golf VR6 which smells of petrol on a cold start, presumably the choke causes it to run too rich. How did you get your problem resolved???

I picked up an red ex-lease VW Corrado VR6 at 3 years in 1999 - one of the last off the line. Now coming up for eight years old, I have no intention of changing it - I just don't see any point and nothing newer holds the same appeal - its relaible, has beautiful styling in and out, and an engine and handling for all occasions. In a country lane mood and no passengers the car is just incredible, you never seem to run out of pull and grip and the V6 sounds beautiful when opened up. Great ride... (read more)

I bought my 1993 Corrado VR6 with only 44,000 miles on the clock. It is in virtually new condition. It is a true drivers car, has bags of power and handles really well. I bought a Corrado VR6 for its performance and low depreciation. 1993/94 cars with low mileage are still fetching anywhere between £6-10k. Compare this with the value of a comparable FTO !!!

Great car. Good review. Brilliant car.
<br>Had a 93 VR6. Was a real oil guzzler. Now own a 95 VR6 (mileage 130,000) - have run for 20,000 miles. Have not put any oil in during 10,000 miles sevice intervals. Faults - flame trap gets overloaded after speed bumps and sends oil to throttle body - smells. Alternator lead corrodes in wet climate at 9 years (x2) -no probs for you boys out there! Batteries only last 8 years!!!

I was lucky enough to find a good priced VR6 Storm from a VW dealer. I had a 205 1.9 before and was worried that this would not be as much fun, just a little more grown up. How wrong was I. I love this car and intend keeping it for as long as possible, even to the extent of buying a cheap runaround and keeping it for weekends. Both the performance and handling are excellent, although make sure that you get a decent set of tyres on it. The build quality is superb and the looks that you get... (read more)

The VW Corrado VR6 is a justifiable cult car and the best handling VW ever--including any newer A4. The answer to a question no one asked, namely: What do you get when you cross a GTI with a Jaguar E-type? The purring, roaring, cruising, handling Corrado SLC.
The Corrado is a spiritual heir to other German 4-seaters such as the 928 and MB 450 SLC with which it shares it's name. Out on the highway it's a long legged, swift, and comfortable cruiser, and around town it can carry four adults...

I'm hoping to pick up my Corrado VR6 this weekend after a very long think about what car to go for. Having owned a modified 205 1.9 I needed something that was fun to drive but also that is well built and a good cruiser (something the 205 lacked) after considering a Nissan 200 Touring, MR2 Turbo, Fiat 20v Turbo I have decided the Corrado is the best one. I feel it also looks the best despite it's age and is rather small and compact which is also a + factor. It will also hold it's value far better than any of the above mentioned. It already has an induction kit but I am planning some mild modding, probably just performance HT leads and plugs as well as a superchip. Has anyone carried out these mods? if so what kind of difference? I am considering an exhaust system and poly bushes also. I was not very happy with the exhaust on my 205 as it became tiresome and was too loud, even at low revs. I was hoping the system for the Corrado would be more muffled below 3k and then come to life. Can anyone shed any light on this? and the difference the poly bushes will make?

They stopped making the corrado in 1993 so you having a 1994 is not gonna happen very easily. i own 3 corrados an 89 vr6, a 91 g60 and a 93 vr6 which is my prized car. Anyone interested in buying a corrado and you're looking at them - do it. The man who first designed Ferrari was the one who did the blueprint for this car and it's the last car he ever worked on.

The VW Corrado VR6 is the best front wheel drive sports coupe on the market ever!
Name another to beat it and I'll prove you wrong!
This car is effortless around town, on the motorway and will eat the ground up as quick as most £50K upwards sports and supercars!
Reliability and quality is the best around and the engine is good for 100k miles upwards (if serviced regularly!).
This car hardly depreciates in value and just looks damn cool!

<br>All 3 are capable cars, there is no doubt that all can hold a candle to the Corrado, but none can do everything you ask of it, with such effortless stride, as the VR6. You'll never tire of a car that can match your mood so intuitively.

well, the fiat tends to fall apart, or at least have electrical problems (not to mention torque-steer on boosting turbo)..same with the alfa. and the 3-Litre V6 in the alfa sounds great, but is a bit too heavy for the chassis and compromises the handling. and all saabs torque-steer for england and tend to be a little boat-like when it comes to the twisty stuff....the integra type-R is a great car to drive, maybe een better than the Corrado, but the VW is built like a tank and it's the one I'd put my money on.

Quite clearly the Corrado VR6 is a far better all round car than the Type-R. Not to mention that little thing called Torque... do you enjoy driving around at 8k RPM all day. Try living with the Honda day-to-day or on a long motorway run and you'll see what I mean. Not the case with the C.
<br>And as for the looks ??? You are of course having a laugh!

I have a VR6 Storm at the moment, having just changed from an Integra, I feel both are equally as good as each other, the Integra being 100% reliable for 40k (70-110k) very hard driven miles. The Integra being ultimately the more involving driving machine, it feels faster, and the engine is far superior- I just wish it was a six! The corrado on the other hand, feels like a lot more car for your money, and can be a car to relax in if your not in the mood for balls out driving, something you can't do in the integra.

Hello gentlemen.
<br>Paul here from Canada. I tend to agree with the Corrado being a better all round car than the other cars mentioned. The Corrado is a solid car and is indeed built like a tank. I think it is more expensive to maintain although the total feel of the car is much better than any car in it's class. The vw german solid feel on this car is amzing. Solid as though the thing is on rails. The Integra does do it in speed but is whiny and in no way as solid on the highway as the Corrado.

I have a Saab 9-3 Viggen. I have had many cars but the Saab, for me, has proven to be the most exciting car I have owned. It has so much character which is sadly lacking in many modern bland computer-accountant killed cars. I believe that it will be one of the last characterful Saabs as it possesses the original 900 lines and Saab 1986 engine as opposed to the latest Vauxhall unit and that crud looking Subaru 9-2. That is not a Saab! As for comparisons with the integra and corrado it has performance in any gear to embarrasss both; it has the best interior and seats, is just as cool-looking as the corrado but is much more practical an everyday vehicle and is just as well made as the German. Ok there is wheelspin from rest and it might not handle as precisely as the pin sharp honda but just put your foot down in any gear and, hardly anything can match it let alone for sheer presence and antipation let alone rarity. In coupe form it is very beautiful to look at especially on the move. It has averaged about 26mpg, which, considering the performance is mighty fine. For me, a car to keep after many good but eventually boring cars including Vauxhall VX220 and BMW.

The Rover 200 Turbo Coupe has lots of stonk but the Viggen has stonking stonk and it won't break up at 150mph-you can never tell how bad Rover build is until you test it to its limits but I do not think Rover did this during its development.Remember, the Saab produces 273 lbs foot of torque on overboost from 2500 to 4000 rpm,yes.....from and to....performance is not from 0 to whatever stupid speed, it is really about mid-range and here the Rover does very well but the Saab is even quicker.Awesome!0-100 in about 13.5 secs,40-60 in fourth about 4 secs,50-70 in 6.5.Go to the new york saab owners club web site and select photo section see how gorgeous it looks.

Guys,
<br>
<br>The reason for buying the VR6 is clear!
<br>
<br>Like me, the others are all clones, not one of them individual in nature.
<br>
<br>Mention the VR6 everyone knows what you are talking about, and would like to own one; especially one that is in original condition like mine!
<br>
<br>Big exhaust pipes, wider wheels all look cool, but don't increase the value.
<br>
<br>Leave it alone, it's brilliant as it is, and it will keep its value much better than the rest!
<br>

I purchased a 2000 Saab 93 Viggen Coupe 2 days ago. I live in South Park Colorado and drive long,lonely winding roads on my way home from work at 3 in the morning. My first night driving it home I was amazed at how fast I wanted to go because it felt so good. When I was pushed back in my seat from the acceleration, I almost, well You know. This is a woman's point of view. To men, it's about the mechanics of the car, to women it's all about the feeling, and the Saab Viggen feels GOOD> No comparision to the others.

THE CORRADO IS BEING JUDGED AGAINST PERFORMANCE HATCHES AND ALTHOUGH IT CAN HOLD ITS OWN IN THIS CATERGORY IT IS EQUALLY AT HOME WHEN PITTED AGAINST BMW AND MERC WHEN IT COMES TO BUILD QUALITY RIDE AND RESIDUAL VALUES IT IS AN AWESOME ALL ROUNDER IN EVERY SENSE AND THEREFORE THE CLEAR WINNER IN THIS DEBATE

Ok, I myself own a '91 G60 Corrado, and I think the VR6 Corrado is MUCH better than the Acura Intergra R-spec. It is as solid as a rock (no pun intended), it doesn't require high rpm's to operate decently, and most importantly: It's much rarer and understated. I like the fact that I don't see a Corrado every block. It makes people wonder what kind of car that is and who makes it. Finally, the Corrado doesn't depreciate as much as the Acura. 100% VW all the way!!!

Sharpshooter0220's Response to CorradoVR6T's Review
Written on: 27/05/2007
Have you seen the Dahlback racing Golf?
<br/>
<br/>Its a Audi RS5 engine tweaked to 1000BHP
<br/>
<br/>But thats a bit extreme I find you review very helpful
<br/>
<br/>I have always loved Volkswagens and my mind may of shifted from a MK1 to a Corrado VR6 now
