Later ones suffer from cracked cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds, other than that theyre pretty solid cars and go well.

I had one. Really good cars. Very quick especially when you press the sport button :thumb:. Mines was an auto estate with a lovley chicken korma interior. The fuel eficency was poor but other than that it was a very good car.

Yeah I always wanted the manual but the auto was good on the motorways with cruise control. How much are these going for nowdays?

I'm sure if you put the back seats down that the engine would go in the back of a Nova :p

I know that if you put the back seats down it improves your handling. Yo!

A great cruiser and tow car, just make sure it doesnt smoke on over run. Good luck
