Corrado vs Golf


Recommended Posts

I expect this has been done before, just wanted your guys opinion about an OBD2 Golf 2.8 vs a Corrado 2.9, which do u rekkon wud come out on top if at all??!

Mate of mine has a Corrado and we always have a bit of banta between us! Been pretty even so far on the road but I think he gives it death slightly more than im willing too!

I've had both now. Both good cars. Golf for practicality and build quality, it really does fell much better screwed together on the inside. Corrado for driving, all the way, somehow the 2.9 feels much more potent than the 2.8. Handling is much better, must be the lower centre of gravity. Looks are subjective but the Corrado turns heads whereas people just see another Golf., its different and sleek. I miss the practicality of the Golf but love the presence of the Corrado.

Ive owned both and ran a slightly modded VR6 storm for 3 months while my car was in for painting, and i much preferred my golf, as it actually has a build quality, something which for being a VW the corrado sadly misses!!

My OBD2 Golf consistently makes over 190 brake on the RR, and its a well used high mile car, i wouldnt like to think there is much in it on the road!!

It would be interesting to see an identically matched i.e suspension wheels tyres etc Corrado and golf ran back to back, as my last Golf was a fantastic handling car, and lets face it once a Golf has its suspension changed its more than able to hold its own against a similar spec Corrado
