finding a good one is hard as you say, driven a few and they aren't all that at all, not unless you spend a lot of money under the bonnet anyway.

Overpriced, too heavy, too much to insure, expensive tax, expensive to fix, too little mpg for performance....
BUT
Look great with a few mods, good solid car, sounds lovely, can strap a s/c on.
I'd still say bad points outweigh good.

would get a corrado over one, bit rarer.
The vr6 engine is chain driven which is meant to last for life of engine, but most get it done at 100k
a place called TCS sells some good cars

when i was looking for golfs, most are 5dr's, and majority of 3drs looked a bit "too used", not many people looked after em as much as the corrado
