Glad you are personally OK. and really sorry to hear about your car.

Regards the Corrado, I like them a lot, and will venture my opinion for what it's worth.

Ride quality is a little harsh, very harsh compared to the SVX. Roadholding is little short of brilliant. Cabins tend to be very dark and sombre, OK if you are happy with that.

The VR6 is a brilliant engine. Very narrow angle V6, about 2.9 litres. Good power.

If the car you are looking at is the 2.0 litre supercharged, called the G60, don't touch it!! They are worthless over here. Supercharger is not good quality, tends to burn up, and costly to fix. Regular to see them fitted with new supercharger, just before the car gets sold. Best bet with them is to fit a non-VW supercharger for reliability.

If it's a V6 and checks out, go for it. Probably the best small coupe ever made.
