Corrado VR6 OR Audi S3

I'm basically after either a Mint Corrado VR6 or cheap S3, I want to spend around 5-6k max, I don't do many miles so MPG isn't of concern, I've have 2 S3's in the past and enjoyed them but not loved them, I haven't owned a VR6 so can't comment, I know the Audi would be faster remapped but I guess there's not a lot in it when both are standard, my question is, is it worth getting a lovely Corrado VR6? Or a cheaper Audi S3?

Cheers guys

tough one, I am a big Audi fan as well...
Without sounding like a tt, the Corrado feels like its got more soul, plus I think its a really good looking future classic. There are about a dozen cars that I keep looking over and think i fancy one of those. The VR6 corrado is one of the dozen, they sound fantastic as well.

If you've never owned a Corrado, why not give that, a go for a bit of change? smile

5-6k S3 is likely to be a bit of a nail...

Corrado all day long, once you've heard that VR lump you'll never want a different engine except maybe something very exotic! So much nicer than the souless 20VT!

A friends got a VR6 and it good but runs out of puff very quickly compared to my S3. I used to love them but the insides are looking a bit dated for my liking now.

I bought my S3 for inbetween your price range and its far from a "nail". Overall package me personally think the S3 is alot better car, however the sound of the VR6 may sway me lol.

Seen as you have had 2 S3's it would make sense to have a change. Test one see what you think. If its a "not what I thought it would be" get another S3 and let tuning begin :-)

VR6 = Classic

S3 = Meh

If MPG is an issue then get the S3, if not definately get the Corrado

Why not something non-VAG for a change?

If it has to be one of those two with that money I'd go for the Corrado. I dont ever see myself buying an S3, but if I were I'd want to spend a bit more than that.
