1993 Volkswagen Corrado VR6 review from UK and Ireland
"Buy with care and you won't regret it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Has just had a rebuilt engine; although I was hoping to just have the head done. Oil consumption was approximately 300 miles per liter, 1000 miles after buying it with a supposed full warranty with a full service history from a Volkswagen main dealer. On claiming through the warranty the dealer said I had to pay to have it stripped before they could decide if it was a warranty claim. It appears the car was either overheated or ran low on oil before I bought it.
General comments?
Very quick car even with a worn engine -it ran very quietly. Apart from smoke on the overrun it was fine; nothing else has gone wrong; 32 miles per gallon fuel consumption on long journeys.
Handles very well.
Good build quality.
Turns heads and stands up to much more modern competition.
