1991 Volkswagen Corrado 16v review from UK and Ireland

Odd things. Both door handles went within 2 months, at £100 to £120 each to replace. New calipers on the back, due to wear, and amazingly, the gear shift selector cable snapped. Apart from that, general wear and tear and dodgy electrics. All parts are really over-priced.

My local dealership are fairly useless and expensive, but I have found a place near Heathrow called Swedish and German which does decent non-dealer parts cheap. The car is expensive to run, a bit noisy and the ride is on the bumpy side of hard in towns. Watch for insurance companies over-rating the insurance group. Lets face it though, you don't drive a Corrado for economy, you do it for love and you couldn't fail to love the engine note when you kick it and the point and shoot handling on bends. Fun fun fun.
