Personal preference imo, I used my nova (stripped, buckets dash and a steering wheel, on front coilovers rear 250lb springs) every day and loved it, I'd chop the pugrot i'm using atm in for it in a split second if the pugrot wasn't miles cheaper to run.

Ask on another website for an unbiased opinion FFS! LOL
Serioiusly though, if you miss your old one, get another, otherwise move on to something better.

It's not that bad, most of us openly admit they're **** cars by most standards, and most choose a different daily drive too lol

Stick with the BMW. Novas should be second cars, unless they're rotbox run-arounds, not many decent ones left so driving in the salt and sheeite is only reducing them further IMO

Theres no way i would go from the bm to a nova if i could only have one car. Novas will always be such a cool car imo and will always need one in my life but a 328 is such a better car all around and you will regret it.
If you miss novas could you not just buy a cheap one for a project?

Exactly what I was about to post.
I sure as funk wouldn't have a Nova as a primary car.

why not lol
Rusty, unreliable, small, rattly, don't handle, uncomfortable, and its not really a passion wagon now is it lol
lol so what do you like about them
Errrrmmmm......
I like harassing Impreza drivers on the M5 and A37 with mine? lol
lol i cant wait to blow my mates when mine done :p
but i think novas can be comfortable and a passion wagon lmao when i was 17 my nova was a minter for pulling the birds ;):roll:
Girls don't seem too keen on my Nova. They like my other vehicle though

I tend to find the 'girls' usually prefer novas over my cars lol However, it all depends what sort of girl you are wanting to pull.
Seriously though, i guarantee everybody who has moved on from a nova will never wish to go back to a nova as an only car.
^ what he says lol
Im much happier driving my C Van all day every day then any Nova ever built!

Get a Nova, but i don't like the E36 BM's so i would say that.
what happend with the blue sr any way mate??? i shud have bought it when i had the chance got offerd it for 600 quid next thing its on piston heads for 1600 i knew i should have bought it from welshy! but then ive allready got a nice sr!!the blue sr is still round my area a mate of mine made me a good offer so it went to him still goin strong didnt really want to sell but the offer was to good

Dan, you've had more comebacks than Frank Sinatra.. :thumb:
Nova everyday i'm afraid.. Buy it.
Rusty, unreliable, small, rattly, don't handle, uncomfortable, and its not really a passion wagon now is it lol
Unreliable? I disagree,what can go wrong? theres no electrics,just your basic motoring,unreliability is mainly down to peoples lack of maintenence.
Dont handle? Well it wont with a concorde engine shoe-horned in now will it!!:p lol lol
To be fair I'm comparing it to my celica, but a car is a car :p
Dan, i would say if your happy driving a nova as a daily then go for it,
as you say you keep getting the bug for another and if you dont buy this nova,
you know you will buy another down the line :d
i vote nova :d
I sometimes miss having a Nova as a daily driver, got a Corsa XE instead now but the Nova XE was faster.
Had a dabble with a Celica GT4 as a daily a few years ago and it was shoite, really slow and expensive to run, chopped it in for another Nova XE.
Each to their own though, Jack obviously loves his Celica, I didn't. You should have a better idea which car you would prefer to drive day in, day out than most people on here.
