1992 Volkswagen Corrado Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1992 Volkswagen Corrado are passionate about their cars, often describing them as a dream to own and drive. Many appreciate the impressive performance and handling, particularly praising the VR6 engine's sound and power. However, some drivers noted issues with reliability and maintenance costs, suggesting that while the car is fun and beautiful, it can also be a money pit."
The Supercharged Corrado is spectacular. Whilst there was a 2.9 V6 Corrado available, the G60 in my opinion has the edge from having equivelant performance with a much lighter block. After a few tweaks, this 16 year old car is as good as any modern car, if not better. The build quality is phenominal. I know this from being hit by a 40 ton lorry on the m4. And for me, it's the most beautiful car ever made. The downside is of course cost. I average about 22mpg, plus it IS an aging car, though it has never broken down on me, a lot of servicable parts are reaching the end of their useful lives and as such, need replacing. At the end of the day though, if you can afford to run a Corrado it's well worth it, it's a true modern classic with beautiful lines and truely brilliant performance.
December 21, 2008The Corrado is a true enthusiasts' car. They are uncommon, unpopular, and maintenance nightmares. But if you love Volkswagens, then you know what a Corrado is and you probably want one. One of the first cars with the legendary VR6 and often referred to as the "Poor Man's Porsche." It handles well, drives well, and sounds amazing. It is also decently quick for a 90's coupe.
October 4, 2009Incredible handling, and pretty good comfort on long trips.

June 10, 2008This car is amazing to drive, hell its amazing to sit in. The interior is very sporty and quite luxurious. The car handles amazingly. The VR6's sound is intoxicating.
January 13, 2008A classic waiting in the wind. Young enough to be good to drive but old enough to have been forgotten. Drives as well as, if not better than many modern cars. (top gear) British magazine CAR named it one of 25 cars to drive before you die.
January 12, 2008completely in a field of its own. really. sure its front drive, but a very torquey, sensual-sounding smooth vr6 that even in stock form is scary quick! it really is a complete package of handling (best), gearing (best), and sound (best) that vw has to offer, even today.
June 8, 2008...Really was my dream car since at school. Once old enough to afford one, it never disappointed. Really can't wait to get another, maybe in the VR6 flavour... Roll on that day :)
April 12, 2008Fun, fun, fun! Corrados are just a blast to drive. Everything you can ask for. The SLC with the VR6 engine has the horses, but a little weak on the reliability. Be prepared to spend a lot of money to maintain. The G60 supercharged engine is much more reliable.
February 7, 2008Great car to drive, goes like no other VW.
November 12, 2007around 7.4 second 0-60 good brakes, not overly sensitive like later model v-dubs. got 90k on the odometer and the serpentine belt came off, obviously needing replacing. Sexy car all around, and is quite rare considering it didn't sell well when it was originally being produced. The gas mileage is around 20/25 mpg. Owned for over a year and a half and haven't had any problems till recently. This car is soo amazing to drive!!! It pulls like a demon in second gear, and the engine has enough power to satisfy my everyday needs.
