Vauxhall Nova Hatchback 1.5 TD SX 3d (1992/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
It's worth every penny I paid for it!
Costs
Only the price of parts for the Isuzu engine let it down, but everything else is very wallet-friendly. So far I have achieved 67.2mpg at best!

On the road
Driving
Lack of power steering makes parking a nightmare, but the car handles like a dream otherwise.
Performance
Small amount of turbo lag initially, but runs an absolute dream otherwise. Very quick for a diesel.

Living with it
Reliability
This is my second Nova and they are both the most reliable Vauxhalls I've owned.
Image
The look of it doesn't bother me.
Comfort
Nice comfy seats and lots of front legroom, but the ride isn't too quiet and there is a bit of road noise.

Security and Service
Security
Nothing in the way of security apart from keycode radio. 1.5 TD has been known to be stolen for rare Isuzu engine.
