Balti Pie

Does anyone know this car?? Thinking of going to take a look at it? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190081684912&fromMakeTrack=true

MK3 becoming the new MK1??, it's like comparing Westlife to The Beatles! :wink: The MK3 has always had a small following if compared to the MK1 & MK2. The reason is VW pretty much undercooked it (VR6 apart).......they took all the bit's that made the MK1 & MK2 so special, out. Corrado, on the other hand is a stonewall future classic!

Years ago my mate had a MK2 Uno Turbo and it was one of the most fun cars I've ever driven. Loved it. Mine was about 12 years ago now, it was a Datsun 120Y estate which was another mates car. I'm sure it had a 1000cc engine. Truly awful drive.

I should say so! My valver is quick enough, but my mates modded G fkn flies. Brown trouser quick. I want one, wish i'd held out a bit longer and found a good nick G, but hey, you live and learn... Balti Pie Swap you my valver for ur MK1... :wink: Thanks for the offer Matt, Think I'm gonna hold out for a VR6.....I got an insurance quote on one today and not nearly as bad as I thought. Anyone know Roughly what MPG a VR6 returns and what year did they stop making them (96???)

Will do, is that in the Knowledge base section?? I've just had a look in there and it says the 0-60 time for the G60 is 8.9 sec's. I take it this is incorrect??

Thanks for this, thought it was very strange. There wouldn't have been a point in VW making the G60 if it wasn't quicker than the 1800 16v!!! How reliable are the G60's and the supercharger? Am I right in thinking it needs overhauling every 60k??? How often will it need replacing?? Any other associated problems with the G60??

No way. The G60 rocks and can be easily made to be a flying machine. I didn't believe it and thought that it can't be right, But I've seen in a couple of places on the net that the 0-60 time is quicker for the 1.8 16v than the G60 the 2.0 16V (I take it this because of the Cat??) I'm not overly bothered about speed as I'm no boy racer, but I've always liked something with a bit of poke and if the 1800 is about the same pace as the g60 and I don't have to worry about any expensive supercharger work, then I rather take that route.

Hi everyone. Glad you have found you guys!! I've been suffering from 'Corrado love' recently and thinking about maybe taking the plunge early next year. I currently drive a 79 MK1 Golf GTI which I love and I don't really want to get rid of her. I've spent a bit of money on her this year and I'm gonna be moving house soon.....so I'm thinking I need something semi-sensible. I've been mainly thinking about the 1800 16v, followed by the 2000 16v or the G60.I'm sure someone mentioned to me that the 1800 16v has quicker acceleration than the G60 and the 2000 16v? Is this right?? I would obviously love the VR6, but I'm thinking the general running costs (Petrol, Insurance etc) are a lot higher than the other models????? Basically I want a nice standard model, with Decent performance that's not gonna be a money pit.....what's my best option??
