1990 Volkswagen Corrado G60 review from North America
"Fun and high spirited"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas hose leak. Two months worth figuring out where it was coming from, but $2.00 worth a new hose at a local Auto parts store.
Supercharger rebuild, it was already done when I bought the car.
Leak on the passenger side floor when it rains really hard.
Small exhaust leak.
My breaks are starting to rub.
When I first bought the car, the engine would only run on 2 or 3 cylinders at a time, $120 later on 4 new spark plugs fixed that.
The headliner has completely detached itself from the roof.
General comments?
The car stays on the road like there is super glue attached to the wheels, and I still only have stock suspension.
I love the looks I get when driving down the street, half of them are for the car, the other half is probably for me, (not many girls behind the wheel of a Corr ado!)
When things do go wrong I feel like I need another job to pay for the parts.
