Drivers side rear brake caliper siezed - a common problem with Corrados and Mk2 Golf GTIs I was informed.
Worn front wheel bearing.
Aftermarket immobilizer caused starting difficulties with hot starting on warm days - I did not include this in my reliability score above as it can hardly be blamed on VW.
I absolutely adored this car. Very practical, can seat four adults in reasonable comfort and has a sizeable boot. The handling is a dream (once went through a roundabout at 70) and is superb fun to drive. Acceleration while not the cars strong point was okay but the best way to make that Nova SRi a dot in the rear-view mirror was to find a twisty road and nail the throttle - Corrados don't seem to need to slow down for bends the same way most cars do ;-)
Good lad. they don't need to slow down lol I love it.
I hardly think it appropriate to condone aggressive Driving Habits on this Website. Please refrain from such comments as younger People also use this Website. They are future Drivers and should not be taught that Street Racing is acceptable.
