No problem,

For the record did a search on reliability and it didn't come up with all that much so thought I would get a few peoples opinions.

Didn't realise the G60/VR6 question was such a contentious one! I am genuinely considering either.

Thats the thing, I don't mind running costs and all the usual costs associated with a car. And as always finding a car that has been looked after is half the battle.

However I have heard many stories of continual problems/faults, you have only got to look further up this thread!

thanks harry,

i am sure there plenty of threads on this already but whats the VR6 like compared with the G60. I started off looking at VR6's but there seems to be some nice G60's about at the mo...?

Once again I am considering a corrado, just hesitant due to reliability problems and maintenance costs, what have yours been like?

I am considering a VR6 or G60 as I can't get a slower car than my current one, a very reliable MK3 Golf GTI 16v.

Would even consider replacing with my golf engine/gear but not sure of the costs involved.

Thanks

Thanks,

Looking for a Corrado at the moment, but got some wheels on my MK3 golf that I just don't think I can get rid of. They have fairly new 215/40/16's on.

Can anybody confirm if 215/40/16's fit standard corrado vr6's?

thanks

At this price range if you look about you can get between 100K to 150K with FSH. Although an alarming number out there don't have any!

When buying my golf I was advised mileage isn't a problem if theres regular history, is this the same with VRs

Insurance isn't a problem, its another £100 a year over my MK3 golf gti 16v.

Are there any other expensive routine jobs that I can check for in the bills?

Hi,

I am sure this has been covered before but nothing recent.

I want a to get a Corrado, preferably as young as possible but i guess its the condition of the car thats more important than the age.

I am looking for a VR6 and can afford one 2-3K but the main concern is the maintenance costs after purchase. I am ok with the possible costs to replace the chain/clutch as this is a one off cost. But I have now read that repairs/parts that are relatively cheap on other cars can be expensive on corrados, i.e a £500+ bill is not uncommon.

Is a G60 a cheaper option to maintain?

I would even have considered a 16v if it wasn't for the fact that it has less power than my MK3 golf GTI 16v....
