On the road
Driving
My second Nova. Not too bad for a small old car. I've had mine lowered 60mm, so takes corners better. Feel every bump though.
Performance
Can rip them as much as you want. Solid engine! Not very quick, but quick enough if you use the gears wisely.

Living with it
Reliability
Had a few problems with this one, but none in a year in my 1st one. Spent more time pushing it lately.
Image
Set of alloys, lowered 60mm, spoiler, splitter, new grill. Cost me £130. Made it look much better. Pity about the rust! Don't care what anyone says - Mk2 Novas are nice cars.
Comfort
As long as the driver's comfortable! Not bothered about my passengers.

Security
