Hey everyone To combine the 1990's with the 2020's I want to see what everyone's phone mounting solutions are? If anyone has a cool idea or has a mount that fits well into the corrado. Thanks!

Hey Folks! In efforts to combine the 1990's with the 2020's I am looking to buy a phone holder for my Samsung Note 10+. Also the phone holder needs to fit very well within the corrado interior. So I am looking to you people with the experience if you have a phone holder that works well on the Corrado Interior. Thank you.

Thank you, I definitely will be looking to do it myself, I just have very little knowledge and I didn't know what the CV Boot is. Now I know and its annoying but easy enough. And thanks for the advice!

Hi I'm looking to buy my first corrado which happens to also be a vr6 storm. I wanted to ask if all storms had the oil pressure and battery voltage gauges? Thanks

Hi All I've just joined this forum, and this is my first post. I have been in love with Corrado's for over 10 years, but when I was younger the cars were much cheaper but the insurance was prohibitively expensive. Now the tables have turned. The cars are more expensive, but the insurance is cheaper. I am shopping around to buy one but I have no idea what to look out for in terms of typical faults with a car that is nearly 30 years old. (When I inspect and test drive etc). I hope you guys can help. Thank you.
