Im still undecided biggrin.gif I doubt il be doing loads of miles but the driving il be doing will probably mostly be town driving (30mph etc) and then the occasional motorway run when going shopping/shows etc). The VR6 is out of my price range (to buy and insure) so i was left with the 16vs and the G60s. Now economy and power dont always come in the same package but il be happy with about 30mpg as thats what i was getting roughly with my last two cars and didnt bother me. But i also want some power there when i need itif someone annoys me and wants a challenge in their 1l nova biggrin.gif I guess the 16v will be easier to maintain as i wont have to keep servicing the charger although it may take me a few years to rack up 30000 miles (or however long they need servicing, or do you do it every few years anyway?). and if i get a 16v il always be thinking 'why didnt i get a g60' etc. aaarrgghh decisions decisions.

furks old rado?

so are they really that bad? my mk1 was a little temperamental so i want something i know wont break down all the time. love the look of corrados so really want one but quite a few bad opinions are not doing me any favours :(

reds the new cammo vinyl dude, everyone will want one next year! :lol: Rados are a cruel mistress, for the brief moments of pure ectasy you have to put up with an occasionally high maintinence queen with a drinking problem... but shes worth it!! depends how much driving you do and what you want out of it? if you do alot of miles then the 2.08v's give 40ish mpg on a good run, vr's and 16v's do between 25-35 mpg, serviceings relitively cheap, same as golf and it makes me smile much more than my old golf![/quote:ai3sfagm] i want to try a different colour :D my mk2 was red, my mk1 was red. I dont think il be doing loads of miles besides when going to shows etc or going out for the day. may mainly be town mileage. I want something with abit of grunt (VR is out :D) as i had a 1.6 driver then a 1.6 gti. Im hoping for a g60 really. if i can get 30mpg ish then shouldnt be too bad. pretty much what i was getting with both other cars.

anyone else with some info for corrado noob :D

i may do end up getting a 2.0 16v. and why do all the cars for sale seem to be red? i dont want another red car :D

hello everyone, first post so sorry if its in the wrong section, dont know where to put a question like this on here. I put a topic up on ED38 asking the same question and was told to come on here as id probably get a better response. Anyway i want a corrado for my next car. Ive had a mk2, currently selling my mk1 and am looking for something a tad 'newer' :D Only problem is im stuck with which one to go for. ive ideally been looking at the 16vs for insurance purposes (21, 1yrs ncb) so this kind of factors in which i can get. Did a few quotes on confused to get a few ideas and the cheapest was about £1000 for a 2.0 16v and then only about £1100 for a g60. thats a standard one though. I think VR6' are a little out of my price range plus could be more thirsty on the petrol wallet. Ok onto my question. How are they like to live with daily? it will be my daily car, i wont be doing mega miles on it but im just worried about the mpg really and rinsing through it very quickly :D so i was going with the 16v as may be easier to live with, guess its got decent power. but then i wanted a g60. obviously a little faster but then i was thinking of how much hassle(i dont think thats the right word here but couldnt think of anything eles :D) the charger could become with servicing it/it going kaput etc or am i making a mountain out of a molehill and the charger isnt that big a deal? obviously if looked after it will work quite well. and what are the prices of 16v and g60'. i dont know how much il have yet as it may be a few months till i get one but i wont have bundles of cash to buy one. just a sensible amount. so can anyone give me advice on each of them? i know people have different opinions but any advice is good advice. Just dont say 'sod the 16 and g60 get a vr' because i wont be getting of them :D Thanks.
