best thing ive ever driven, bloody lovely drive, handling is awesome (on par with my 205) 200bhp with zorst and filter makes for a fast car. expect 140mph+ and something that will threaten an evo at high speed

also the v6 noise will make you cum in your pants when ever you press the fast pedal.

theres one for sale in cardiff at £3600 if youre interesed let me know and ill get details for you

Well theyre getting old now, newer ones will be 9-10 years old. Basic spares shouldnt be a problem as its based on the mk2 golf. Body panels however may be harder to find. The Corrado engine was a 2.9 oppose to the Golfs 2.8. Weather or not this will have any bearing on spares i do not know.

spares are 100% ok, can still get everything for them excluding the shells

apatr from basic servicing the rear wing can fail, as well as the wiper mechanisam

they seem fast as apose to most cars they have power and torque right through the rev range, instead of just up above 4k

I agree with that to a point, I would gladly say that the handling is superb, I honestly don’t think you can get much better from a front wheel drive, compared to the 205 I would say it is better, the 205 is a bit raw it feels like a tin box, grab a helmet and it feels as if your ready to race.

The std brakes on the corrado are rubbish, after a couple of hard braking manoeuvres they fade, Parts are expensive if they go wrong especially if they a specific for the corrado.

To get the best sound out of the engine you need a filter and exhaust otherwise they are too quiet.

All I say is that if you get one make sure that its been looked after ie not to many owners, loads of history, no signs of damage, everything works, but at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

It will put a smile on your face but not the same smile as a Evo would though.

There's a lovely one round where I live - it's red, nice big wheels, nice bodykit and body work (not tacky), and it's driven by a guy that used to have a 205 GTi.
