    Yes Nova is and has been for most of my driving life, the daily. I have a few so, they often get a year or two off whilst the other is driven. Carb cars especially if serviced well are pretty reliable.

    I Have 3 cars insured currently and don't really have a daily as such, just drive whatever takes my fancy at the time based on weather, passengers etc, tends to be the 106 gti for rain/poor conditions and nova let or rx7 for sunny/weekends.

    My daily is a golf r32 which is quite nice to drive I've got to admit,so sadly it means with work,family life etc i use it a lot less than i used to as I don't have the time anymore,it also sits in the garage taxed,insured and mot'd all year round just in case the notion takes me but I'm too used to modern comforts it would drive me mad having to use it every day,saying that I'm taking it to a local show tomorrow.i usually do around 500 miles between mot's in the nova.
