1992 Volkswagen Corrado SLC review from North America
"A destined VW classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lucky that none of the recalls every broke prior to replacement. Did however replace the heater core, that is the only major replacement that was done to my C. Last year the sliding sun-roof broke and got it fixed right away. The headlight switch has been changed three times, cheap plastic. Replaced the switch that controls the speed-sensitive rear wing. The fog light lenses were also replaced. The driver's seat has begun to show a little wear over time, but I attribute this to wear and tear and purely cosmetic.
General comments?
Great car! All the money I have put into this car I don't regret one second. When it first came out I had to have one. Like many C owners, I get compliments on how nice the car looks. I regularly maintain my car and that is what I believe the reason it is in good shape. The styling is timeless. Hope to keep it and never get rid of it.
