Mike79 0 Posted May 14, 2005 Picked up my new car last night... Corrado VR6 Love it to bits! Had to sell my Accord Type R to free up some cash for my flat. Saw this Corrado in the local paper and had to go and see it. Parted with cash very easilly and picked it up last night. 95 in met. purple with black heated leather, air con, EW, ESR, 16" wheels etc... Lovely :twisted: Been out in it today, and even though it is an auto :oops: it's amazing - auto box was replaced 12 months ago, and it is super smooth and very responsive. Either plant the foot or knock it into 3 and away she goes! Loving the spoiler effect when flying along and when I stop at round-a-bouts etc Will get some photos soon. I will try and come to a conclusion as to how it compares to the Golf VR6 I used to have a while back... Lovely car though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted May 15, 2005 Mike this is the best place you could have found for Corrado ownership. What wheels does it have? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike79 0 Posted May 15, 2005 sure am Roddy :afro: The car has some 16" Alesio wheels (bought in October and very blistered - will be heading to Checkpoint with the receipt I got with the car to see what they want to do about them - prob nowt!) Would love to have the car lowered on Eibachs or something, and a miltek system at some point... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
