Volkswagen Corrado 2.9 VR6 Storm 3d (2001/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Not many around. Owners are reluctant to sell, so don't rely on book prices to buy one.
Costs
Not for those on a budget - low fuel economy and low volume part production means expensive running costs. Insurance premiums also unfairly high due to image.
-
On the road
Driving
Road handling and driver involvement to match any roadster. Lowered suspension provides very firm ride but holds corners well.
Performance
Smooth power delivery.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Some minor gearbox trouble and occasional stall when you push, when engine is still fairly cold.
Image
Always stands out in carparks and draws many admiring glances in the average outing.
Comfort
Excellent driving position and the luxuries of sports leather and heated seats provide excellent comfort. Not much headroom in rear seats.

Security and Service
Security
Thatcham Cat1. Total closure fitted when new. Insurance discounts available for tracker systems.
Service
Look for independent specialists - VW Corrado Club can advise. Dealers simply don't see enough of these to provide best level of attention.
