Volkswagen Corrado 2.0 16V
Volkswagen Corrado 2.0 16V - A Sporty Classic in As-New Condition
The name Volkswagen is known the world over for reliable, solid and forward-thinking cars. In the 1980s, however, Volkswagen decided it was time to be not just practical but properly sporty too. The result was the Volkswagen Corrado, which made its debut in 1988. The Corrado was built by Karmann, the celebrated coachbuilder previously responsible for icons such as the Karmann Ghia.
The Corrado was regarded as Volkswagen's sporting flagship of the era, positioned above the Golf GTI. It was praised for its innovative engineering, including the active rear spoiler that deployed automatically at higher speeds for greater stability. The design (crisp, compact and muscular) made the Corrado instantly recognisable as a true driver's car. The 2.0 16V engine variant was one of the most beloved versions, because it struck a perfect balance between power, agility and reliability.
The experience of driving a Volkswagen Corrado 2.0 16V
Step into the Corrado and you feel straight away that this is no ordinary Volkswagen. The black cloth interior hugs you firmly, the sports steering wheel invites decisive inputs and the low seating position gives you that pure racing-driver feel. Turn the key and the 2.0 16V engine comes to life with a raw, energetic note.
Slot the manual gearbox into first, press the throttle, and you get a direct, lively response. The Corrado wants to move forward: it invites you to clip corners sharply and bury the accelerator. And then that moment when the active spoiler rises up, a small detail that puts a smile on every face. Driving a Corrado is pure joy: sporty, dynamic and yet comfortable enough to make every drive a pleasure.
