 ... £120 tax, and insurance will also be on the cheaper side with the little 1.1 litre model i owned. Inside the car is nothing special no electric extras, very basic but then they are cheap cars now. They are fairly nippy for a 1.1 easily maintaining motorway speeds although is a bit loud at times, this car also handles really well. Definately a good car to get your hands on if you see a cheap one maintenance is cheap and easy if you have a slight mechanical inkling. Made for a good quality solid reliable runabout for the ...more

Crowned Review Vauxhall Nova: Nova we go! (1920 words)
by - written on 05/02/03 (Very useful, 1970 readings)
Rating:

Ahhh. I like Novas. People always seem to look at me strange when they ask what my next car will be and i reply "a Nova". I'm currently the happy (ish - come on to that later) owner of a 1991 J reg 1.2 Nova Merit, and have been since October 2000. Purchased with about 54k miles on the clock, it's now pushing 91k and so far the car has done me no wrong - it's reliable, nippy, economical and looks good too (I *HATE* round cars like the corsa!!). And more important of all it gave me that bug for modifying cars. The car had been sitting on my driveway for about 4 months before i bought it, as my sister owned it before I did ...  Read the complete review

Question. 1. What was the best thing Vauxhall did? 2. What was the worst thing Vauxhall did? Answers. 1. Introduced the Nova 2. Changed the Nova for the Corsa! Answers that a lot of people would give when asked those 2 questions. And with good reason. Vauxhall’s baby, The Nova. Let lose on the Roads in the UK in 1983, and was set to take the hatchback market by storm, and soon became a leading contender in the hot hatch market. Vauxhall, which is General Motors UK, took an Astra and Cavalier, chopped it up a bit, added a few tweaks, and out popped the Nova, Opel Corsa, GM Minivan (that’s what I have been told It was called in ...  Read the complete review

LATEST: Here are the pics of my Nova after my near death experience...point your browsers to: http://novapics.cjb.net UPDATE: My little Nova is no more - I mis-judged a bad corner at around 50mph last Friday (27th April 2001) morning and it ended up going head-on into a wall. It is now rather crumpled and there isn't much left of it. Oh well, at least I was lucky enough to escape with only a few injuries and that I wasn't hurt too seriously... R.I.P. Vauxhall Nova (January 1992 - April 2001) ------------------------------------------- I had been saving all my pennies for years until earlier this year when I went on the lookout ...  Read the complete review

This is now the tale of three Novas. Nova 1: Our student son, when 18 years' old, bought a Nova 1.2 Merit 3-door hatchback in December 1999 from a neighbour for £100, including a full tank of petrol (don't laugh - that was worth over £30 even then !). It needed an MOT and failed on about 20 faults, the major requirement being £250's worth of welding. However, it had not ever been involved in a major accident (still had the original number plates), and had been "regularly" serviced over its 94,000 miles. It covered over 109,000 miles, with lots of TLC and has been (affectionately) christened "The Old Tart", ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Vauxhall Nova: Wandy! (505 words)

Fed up of getting the bus to uni everyday with the great unwashed ("Ey! 'Dis bus smells like an ale'ouse la!"), I decided to get myself a cheap car. I ended up with a C Reg Nova 1.2 Merit, which was bought from an old family friend and mechanic! It was in Everton blue! It had 1970's Opel Manta Alloys! It had a full service history! It was £300! Perfect! For three glorious years the Nova ferried me and my student buddies all over Liverpool, the North and North Wales, I never had a problem with it on the road. The one major disaster being that its camshaft went on 95000 miles, outside my house, and was replaced for £45. Apart from a ...  Read the complete review
