Looking at '91 Corrado G60



Larry, it's a fun car to have, it does weigh a bit though, I believe our's(VR6) is around 2984, but is a blast at 130mph with great tires, suspension, etc. on a curvy highway.
   
  Bad part, I hope you have two kidney's, because you will sell them both to keep it running.
   
  G60's are underpowered and unreliable, that's why the guy's I know replace the G-Lader with a T3/T4. The Lader is a Tumor, stay away from it.
   
  Check the fuel lines for rot, the rear hatch for rot, the fog light glass for cracks(cause you can't buy these anywhere, I had to cut a passat glass to fit), Check all of the hoses, we had one t-hose cost $84.
   
  Make sure the rear spoiler motor works and the paint underneath isn't starting to rust.
   
  I can go on for a while.
   
  Bottom line is, G60's and VR6's are like mk1's and mk2's, not all of the parts are interchangable. And if you think it's hard to get scirocco parts, corrado parts are near impossible.

  Larry,

I had a G60 Corrado for a brief period and after owning only Scirocco's for
the longest time I will say this.

It felt bloated and heavy, and it was pricier to replace parts on than the
Scirocco. I personally would not get another G60 and if I did I would
convert to turbo. If you like bloated and heavy get one, they are neat
looking just not for me. Now Tony may have something to say about it, those
Chicagans are nuts any way.
