1992 Volkswagen Corrado VR6 review from North America
"A great sport luxury car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission's 2nd gear syncronizer broke. Water pump failed. Both door handles broke on the same day!
General comments?
The car is great looking, good performing, and practical. But, it has not been reliable, with the transmission, water pump and both door handles having to be replaced within 3,000 miles of ownership. But, car has that great coach built German feeling and is a lot of car for the money. repairs and maintainance are expensive, however. Comparable, but better all around than, say, a Porsche 944. Has equal interior quality as my Porsche 968. It's a rare sports car that is admired by all and respected by fellow Volkswagen enthusiasts.
