1990 Volkswagen Corrado G60 review from North America
"A high maintenance beauty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof would no longer retract itself.
Speed sensitive spoiler would no longer work.
Supercharger required a rebuild.
Water drain would get obstructed with debris (leaves, dirt...) and the passenger side would get flooded.
The headlights and fog lights cracked.
The rod bearings needed to be replaced.
The wipers never worked properly.
Heater core recall had to be performed.
General comments?
The car is very quick and handles extremely well.
The 1.8 engine is surprisingly strong and mileage is unaffected by minor modifications like the air intake or the computer chip.
The car is a pleasure to drive and turns quite a few heads.
Unfortunately, maintenance is very expensive.
