Owned a mk2 golf with a corrado 2.9 vr6 in it and to be honest was just as good on petrol as the cossie and better than the cossie if hard on it.Great runner,always started no probs etc and the handling is out of this world but it was fully poly bushed coilovers etc etc.If i was to buy another vr it would be the corrado itself or maybe get a golf but only if it was tuned a bit and suspension changed as its like a boat standard.Once u get a dub you will be hard pushed to get rid tbh.Great cars and well built
