The Volkswagen Corrado was VW's halo sport compact of the early 1990s, replacing the long-running Scirocco. Built by Karmann on the A2 platform shared with the Golf, it was praised for its sharp handling, solid build quality, and unique features like an active rear spoiler that automatically raised at speed.
Collectors prize the Corrado for its distinctive wedge-shaped styling and its connection to a high point in VW's enthusiast history. The two main variants are the supercharged G60 and the later, more powerful VR6. The narrow-angle 6-cylinder VR6 models, known as the SLC in North America, are the most sought-after for their unique engine note and smooth power delivery.
Buying Tips
- G60 superchargers require rebuilds every 60-80k miles; listen for noise and check for service history.
- On VR6 models, listen for timing chain rattle on startup, as replacement is a costly, engine-out job.
- Test the active rear spoiler; the motor and control module are common failure points.
- Check for water leaks from clogged sunroof drains and rust around the windshield and rear hatch.
- A failed heater core is a very common and labor-intensive repair, so check for signs of coolant leaks inside the cabin.
