General Comments
The Vauxhall NOVA is in its own class, when I was 17-18 it was the car to have. Now its dated, an old style car if you will. Don't get me wrong I own one now at 24 but only for the fact that i've been done for Drink Driving and the insurance is very low. They are nice for what they are, a group 7-8 insurance vehicle. If they did a 1.8i then I belive it would be one of the fastest hot hatches of its time. But its 1.4 engine is lacking power.
