Adam has made a beast he's setting trends and although other V6 corsa have been made, his looks the part and really does show his skill
i think paying someone £1500 to have a XE put in is a poor effort, (and i'd prob regret it a few months after)

Even though it ceased production in late 1995 / early 1996, the Corrado VR6 is still seen by many as one of the best front-wheel drive performance cars available. It is only now, 8 years on, that the competition has caught up to some extent with cars such as the Ford Focus RS, Honda Civic Type-R and the Audi TT V6. Even Volkswagen themselves haven't bettered the car, although the new Golf R32 is rumoured to be close (but no cigar).
Owning a Corrado VR6 is quite a special experience. It is the model of sophisticated understatement, but can embarrass and humble any hot hatch that dares to take it on at the traffic lights. Round town its docile and easy to live with, the ride is comfortable and compliant, and its practical too, being a hatchback with fold-down rear seats.
Get the Corrado VR6 out onto the open road (or even better, a track day) and it is transformed into a hard-charging performance car. The chassis is very well balanced and forgiving, the brakes just go on and on with no appreciable fade, and the low-down torque of the 2.9 litre 6-cylinder engine hauls you out of bends and catapults you down the next straight. The suspension, which round town was comfortable and compliant, becomes firm and well-balanced, absorbing bumps and irregularities without any of the body roll, wallowing and sloppiness of the Mk.3 Golf GTi (which I was unfortunate enough to be given as a courtesy car whilst the Corrado was first in for a service). The Corrado is a very well sorted car indeed.
Yet for all this performance (0-60 6.4s, Standing quarter 15.1s @ 93mph) one can cruise at 70mph on the motorway with 4 adults (including driver) and their luggage, and still return an mpg in the high 30's. With just the driver, a light right foot and a long motorway journey you can even expect to creep into the 40's.
I have owned my own car for almost 8 years, having bought it when only 6 months old, and it is only in the last year that anything has really gone wrong. Even then, repairs have been easy and relatively inexpensive.

You'll easily get 30mpg on motorway runs with a light right foot.
I got about 36mpg on my way to PVS (sitting at 70-80) and about 24mpg on way home (sitting at 100-120) with a lot of hard acceleration after getting through 50/60mph limits..
