willg95vr6 0 Posted July 31, 2006 just thought i would ask, how rare is a storm with a auto box, £5200 with 70k on the clock does this sound dogy to anyone, sorry there are no pictures of it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted July 31, 2006 They made 25 of each type of Storm as an auto.. so 50 out of 500 were Automatics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Forinor 0 Posted July 31, 2006 I thought they only made 10 automatics in each colour of Storm, therefore only 20 automatic Storms? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve_16v 0 Posted July 31, 2006 I thought they only made 10 automatics in each colour of Storm, therefore only 20 automatic Storms? That's right, there were only 10 automatics in each colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted August 3, 2006 I thought it was 10% so 25 blue and 25 green automatics the same as Jim said... :| :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mave 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Nah, 10 of each colour I'm sure it was, still, that's a good price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 3, 2006 Mav3, yep 10 of each, it's in the broshure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Are we not all missing the point... auto box VR's are carp, end of! Hell it doesn't even have a 'sport' mode :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 3, 2006 Phil K, eh?? Have you ever driven one??!! they're great, I reckon if I got a VR as a third car I'd go for an auto... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted August 3, 2006 If I wanted an auto I'd settle for a Passat and buy a smoking jacket, flat cap and slippers.... hang on, I've got a Passat :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted August 3, 2006 :lol::lol::lol: LMFAO! Well im convinced. Automatics are fun! That engine sounds powerful! :lol: I was waiting for the gear lever to break off in his hands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted August 3, 2006 You know what - i used to HATE autos and when I got my VR I had planned to convert it to a manual alsmost immediately. BUT, I've really been converted. OK off the line because of torque converters etc its not so quick but otherwise you can keep up with pretty much everything else a VR can. And its very easy to drive around town too. The 096 box is not great as autos go but its not bad and I can get 32 mpg on a good run and 24 around town. Its a nice easy drive. OK I'm in my mid 30s with 2 kids so thats probably a factor too :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 3, 2006 fla, exactly, the auto box suits the VR engine very well... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted August 3, 2006 I'd certainly look at an auto Vr6 if I came across one cheap enough I'd have to give it a good drive first though as i've not been impressed with any of the VW's with auto gearbox's i've driven. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willg95vr6 0 Posted August 5, 2006 i know its not a corrado but my house mates going to be selling his 1995 Golf VR6 Auto that is in almost new condition its only on 49k miles fsh, he has no idea how much it is worth anyone got any ideas this isnt a sales thread by the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 5, 2006 Autos are OK if there is a lot of grunt to back them up..... I've driven an 03 Mercedes CL500 recently and been out in a C43 AMG.....both V8s and circa 300hp....but the slush box just saps so much urge out of the engine. If they were manuals, they'd be blinding....but merc are openly cr@p at making manuals :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted August 5, 2006 Mav3 thats funny :lol: How out of place does that indicator stalk look though??? Cheap Yank sh*t!! :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonino666 0 Posted February 12, 2007 ive had two VR6 autos and have driven a few manuals. the autos kick ass if u stay in 2nd and 3rd and use engines pottential. also if u hold hand brake and pick up the revs and then nail it its just as qwick as the manual of the start if it had the grip lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted February 13, 2007 There was a Auto Storm (Green) on Ebay at the weekend. It was a bit beaten up... http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
