    Rally / Works pedigree - All the competition parts associated with that
    Relative ease of transplant to 'the' race engine of choice / potential of that engine alone
    Relative ease of fitting large diameter wheels / tyres
    Lightweight body
    Short wheelbase
    Not completely fugly when done right
    3 door without a sunroof

    I honestly don't know.. I'm 17 and got a Flair, my dad had a GTE when they were brand new.. I don't have any other reasons for how I love them so much

    I love the shape! The brakes suck, you need good muscles in your legs for all pedals, and the steering is heavy but thats why I have one for a wee change when I fancy! I first spotted an sr when I was about 7 years old and thought thats . I had a sr for my first car and always wanted another. Forget stupid comments from idiots. If you want one then own one!

    Put simply, they are a very rare sight on the roads now (over here in NI at least). Even a lot of people who aren't remotely interested in cars will stare at a Nova in pristine condition.

    I love the feel of a Nova to drive. And they are a very pleasant car to work on IMO.
