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.
0-60 6.2 secs (Evo magazine)
190bhp 180lb/ft

With a few mods and forced induction this car car be made into a formiddable road car.
The VR6 engine is pretty bulletproof, bill schimmels FWD VR6 turbo jetta runs 640+ whp and mid 9's in the 1/4 mile.

Fast, sporty, a dream drive. Certainly not for the faint hearted. Reliable and ever driveable.
I have had my wee beastie for a couple of months now and love her to bits...
So much fun and a fantastic drive, hate driving other cars as I miss the power and fun of my Corrado.

Get one before its too l8, lifestyle choice,makes you feel warm inside when stuck in traffic with all those boring modern overpriced motors

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.

I bought my black pearlescent Volkswagen Corrado VR6, new in March 1996 (N-reg). I intended to keep it for 5 years, but I still own it! That's how good the VR6 has been!!

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 fell in love with the car again. I sold my 1990 and bought the VR 6. This one I'm keeping for as long as I can unless I find an even later model VR 6 in Silver. This car handles like a dream. The engine's so smooth, you can barely tell it's running at a stop-light.

When I bought the car, it had some minor stuff wrong with it (alarm wire broke and ICU moter needed cleaning). I just fixed it, and the car runs like new. It's the perfect car!

I'm not a materialistic person, but I feel like my Corrado's a part of my family. Yes, the car needs to be maintained. It's 12 yrs. old! Yes, parts can be expensive, but my service expenses are reasonable ($700-1800/yr.,depending on what needs to replaced) All of this is inconsequential when I feel how well this car drives when I spend the money to take care of it. It's worth every penny, and it's certainly cheaper than buying a new car.

I feel in total control behind the wheel. Every time I drive the car, it's a fun, satisfying experience. Fahr Vergnuegen!

This Volkswagen Corrado VR6 is my fisrt car. I was actually regretting getting the Corrado I got because of the previouse owners horrible relationship with the car. Duct tape, and electrical tape are all over, and connections are loose, and not pluged. However, when I drive it all the problems are so far away that I am more than thrilled I bought this car. She's more to me than that. She is my sancutary and my confidant. I love the way she sounds, and handles. I love it when all the other boys in their Honda Civics, and Mitsubishi Eclipses drop their jaws when "Jane" rolls up. No way will I ever not own at least one Corrado. I get a really cocky felling knowing that I can dust virtually all the other cars on the road. If any one is looking into buying a Corrado, go for it with Gung-Ho.

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 most of the hot hatches- golf mk2 16v, uk mr2, crx, r5gtt and of course it trounces them but then is a step up all round. It turns in sharp, precisley and smoothley and has an incredibly smooth and fantastic engine.
The car is particularly good in 2nd and above gears. I put it in 5th gear at 50 and it takes you up to 100mph effortlessley.
I immediatley recognised the appreciation other drivers give you. I was still trying to locate the headlights when the sunlight was fading and turned on the fogs for a second when I was in the fast lane doing about 70, there was a car far away- about 250 yards or so and he pulled over to the middle lane despite this, thinking that I wanted him to get out of the way!
The car has covered 133k which is about average for the year but it still feels so tight and new, far better than when I bought my 205 which was mint and only had 69k!
The woman I bought it off who had it for 4 years was almost in tears when I left as she had to get a company car and I thought calm down love it is only a car but now I understand why she was so sad to see it go.
I very nearly bought a late spec Nissan 200 touring which in a way makes better sense to buy as it has a better spec and is newer with less miles. Maybe I was thinking with my heart, not my head but I know sitting in the Corrado is a better place to be all round. Add to that the fact that it will hold it's value brilliantly it is also a good decision.

The Volkswagen Corrado VR6 is an amazing sports car! It's my first car, and I've only had it for 4 months, but so far I'm so excited about it. 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 love the speed-activated spoiler and the looks I'm going to get (I haven't driven it all that much). The quality of it is excellent and way ahead of its time. My recommendation: Get a low mileage G60 or VR6 that has all records and is maintained by a meticulous person.

I purchased my Volkswagen Corrado VR6 storm november 2003,
The moment I drove it before I exchanged the money, I was in love.
I love to drive it but I dont want the miles to go up!
It has just done 100k!!!!
i have had to change the radiator and passenger window and window motor. These are the only things that have had to do (and tyres).
I would recommend a corrado vr6 to anybody!!!!!
Classic, cool, collectable!

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 Celica GT. However, I backed out at the last minute as I was not happy that it wasn't anywhere near as good as the Corrado I had left at home. A couple of weeks later I was fortunate to find another Corrado (250 miles away)! Same year ('93) but different colour. I bought it in May 2003 and have never regretted buying it instead of the Toyota. It has been fantastic. I have to leave USA in October and I was intending to export it back home........my wife had other thoughts (more logical). She doesn't think I need two ! In the cold light of day I must agree with her, but when I look at her (the car) I just don't want to part with her ! On both of my cars the ignition switch has had to be changed and also the sunroof has been problematical (same fault). Tilts but won't go down again on one side. These are both small niggles and don't deter from the fun of the vehicle overall.

In summary anyone who wants to own a classic european sports coupe and enjoy it without being hassled by reliability and unusability. Remember the Corrado can take 4 (2 in comfort - 2 in relative comfort) and a decent amount of luggage. Find one now and hang on to it....

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. Be prepared to fish around for a good deal. About a month ago there was a small leak from a couple of seals in the coolant system which have now been fixed. Only just put some more oil in at 45K. Using Shell Optimax and getting 30 - 33 mph depending on how I drive. Just about to fit a Pilot Green to see how that goes.
Overall, this is the second best car I've driven, but the best I've owned. The smiles per mile are off the scale.

I own a 60k mile 94 VW Corrado VR6 with a/con and leather.I,ve had a Golf VR6 and a Clio Williams but this far out performs both. A few snags with the smell of petrol coming into the cabin and a fuel leak all over my drive. Fairly practical for myself, wife and two kids considering its a coupe.Interior build quality not up to MK2 Golf standard and the zip went on the arm rest. Door handles are weak and cracked fogs a regular occurance.
I am now on the look out for a Storm but it has to be in Green.
If you fancy a Corrado VR6 get one you wont regret it as long as its got full VWSH.

I just bought a 92 vr6 corrado, I live in the usa and and it is by far the best car I have ever owned. Its a SLC with 100,000 miles and still running very strong. When I bought the car I was told it had some performance parts but little to my surprise it was a beast. ill start with quaiffe differential, garret chip, nuspeed strut bars, nuspeed intake, 260 cams, tech tonichs cat back exaust, nuspeed springs, bilstein struts,momo steering wheel, momo knob, momo pedels, short throw kit, bbs rims, and I think thats it. all for 6,500 U.S> dollars I think thats a deal... I just ordered 268 cams, and a stage2 supercharger with a front mount
