ok, how come whenever anyone sells a 306 gti6, rallaye, integra, elan, 106 gti pretty much everyone sayas "best handling fwd car produced" or words to that effect.

So who is right??

pugoetru

my 205 is the best

DuggE4

My MK2 GTI is the best handling FWD car (that I own)

Alec

My vote goes to mk1 106 Ralleye.

Corrado.

Ask Clarkson, Wilson, Needell.........

Wilson & Needell are both ex Corrado owners. You have to experiance it to know. I've driven a 205, 306 & 106 and the Corrado wins hands down. It was designed by Karmann as the RWD next gen cheap (944 follow on) Porsche and modified for FWD by VW when Porsche dropped the idea and pursued the Boxster. There aren't many FWD cars that can pull off a 2.9 V6 24V with 190bhp without major suspension/chassis revision. I've seen Corrados running 3.2 twin supercharged with 450bhp+ without flinching. Go drive one and join an exclusive club of happy drivers. Also, recently described as the 18th coolest car ever by TopGear magazine.

there was so thing in the paper the other day about the new Renault Megane(200+bhp), better than the CTR.

Best I've had is the Integra, doesn't feel like a FWD, i.e No Oversteer... drive one and push it near it's limits and you will see you don't need 4wd

Thats cos the Corrado is a MK2 Golf chassis.

Riprock

Thatll learn him to get his under and overs mixed up eh?

carl

I would have thought:

VW Corrado VR6
Integra Type R
Fiat Coupe Turbo

si325i

Fiat?? i dont think so.

si325i

i remember when i was 15 years old and didn't know what over/under was and and kept getting them mixed up. ever wish you hadn't replyed to a topic? a bit like the first time i went karting didn't know it was just a back brake. spin city.

Riprock

hmmmmm......fiat.....ahem.Granted VERY VERY quick in straight line,but handling wise....not entirely awful,but certainly not up there with the best.

J4CKO, Corrado is not a mk2 Golf chassis. Park them side by side and you'll see at least 7" lower roof line, 8" wider track and a shorter wheelbase. True, the C shares many interior components with the Golf, and it has the same 'box but with different ratios, the same engines tuned for in-gear acceleration and sprints rather than economy. Drive the 2 and if you are capable enough you will see the difference in no time. In 9 years behind the wheel, only Scoobs and a VX220T have ever thrown up a serious challenge through the twisties. On the straights, anyone can have a go, I just ain't interested.

Ooops, doubled up

i can't see for laughing. over/under, fiats.

Riprock

can we try and "steer" (guffaw) this conversation forward.....

carl

But surely the Fiat Coupe has the same TorSen diff in the front as the Integra?
