1993 Volkswagen Corrado SLC VR6 review from North America
"The most awesome car known to (wo) man"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric water pump was leaking like a sieve when I first got the car.
Previous owner put the wrong spark plugs in (had to buy new ones at $6.99 each)
Unresolved electrical issue with ticking relay and power window fuse blowing every other day.
#5 fuel injector decided to stop working. The car was running on 5 cylinders for a short amount of time and my spark plug was completely gas soaked.
I had all of the above fixed (with the exception of the electrical issue) and parts replaced (new injector, 6 new Bosch dual electrode plugs and new electric waterpump) for $503.00 -
General comments?
To be honest, I really like the sample comment and think it's very fitting.
"This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails."!!
I gotta say, I never would have expected anything like this out of a Volkswagen, especially such a little car. I am surprised at what it can do every time I get into it.. I find myself going out for drives to nowhere in particular and drag racing everybody I come in contact with..
I can't tell you what a thrill it is to have people drive by in Porsches and slow down to take a second look at my car.. It's also great not seeing a car just like yours on every street corner!
Some day I'll have more money and I will have several Corrados. Yes, they are quirky, but I love them anyway.
Where else are you going to get a car that small with such a big engine? 178 horsepower stock. >:)
