Not read any of the comments as I CBA. However, I believe they drink a lot of fuel and arent all that fast?

Bit of a cruiser rather than a hot hatch. I looked into one back in the day. Lovely seats though, I'm not sure if the Recaro's are standard?

Yep, 18mpg was the best I averaged in it. Not a lot for only 200bhp.

I think they were. I recall they were supremely comfy (but then Recaros mostly are - the ones in the ST were great as well).

You will get an early s3 for that money which bar engine note is far superior in every way!!

They had a propensity to understeer too:





Oops.

I always had a soft spot for the R32 in blue:




ETA: P.S. I wouldn't buy that black one if I were you. It was thrapped hard; I was a bit of a tt back then.

Really? Shirley a bit ropey non?

Without wishing to offend the OP, I think a reliable car is what's needed with his budget.

How about one of these?



Faster than the 4-Mo, better to drive and better looking.

£4000

The guy selling this is a good mate of mine, I've been in the car and it's very quick. He's spent a ruddy fortune on it but his missus decided she didn't like it so he bought a 350Z and wapped this up for sale.

Oh, and if the OP fancies a Corrado VR6 project I have a cracking donor car (1993 in Indian Red) and I also happen to have loadsa spares for a V6 4Mo (was gonna build a Corrado R32 4wd then my baby daughter put pay to it..!)

[Johnny H]

Has anyone seen a nice corrado vr6 for sale anywhere?
