I've always been for mk1's, never seen any appeal in a mk2 but i was curious what other people think :d

I'd say MK1 as that's how it was released, wouldn't have sold so well if it didn't look good ;)
No such thing as better...

ahhh, mk1 and mk2's good enough, unless some of the "higher authority" could help me with how to add more options, ahh shame, why'd you sell the mk1??

Err Ive got both, neither are better as in, if you have a 1.2 mk1 and a mk2, both the same really, just obvious differences..
BUT i like the mk1 over the track car as it's practical.

I really can't choose between them. I've owned both Mk1 and Mk2 Novas, my current one is a bit of a mismatch of both. Its a Mk1 SR but with MK2 GSI dash, interior, spoiler and rear bumper, taking the best of both I think.
Its the girly Mk3 when everything went wrong :)

I was really implying overall looks e.t.c.. hence why i voted mk1

I have a MK1 but take notions now and again for a another MK2. Best way to settle it is to have both. lol

Mk1 for me but I am older and more sensiblelol
But there are some cracking Mk2 's about, i.e. Nicks previous cars;)
ive had 2 of each, and i like both. All down to opinion really as theres hardly any difference really lol

Forget better than, which do you prefer? i'm just really not keen on the mk2 styling personally, and every one is practically the same nowerdays

Mk2's seem to rot quicker than Mk1's.

What's wrong with that?
Ain't that many snowploughs about...........Is there?

I brought a snowplough for my loon... and then sold it because i prefer my origional loon bumpers :) and there's two variations of it, top and top and bottom
mk1...but a few of my favourite ones are mk2.
Personally I don't care, but at a push I'd say GSI let's face it would you rather have an old girl with " character " but looks dated or her fresher looking daughter lol,
I'm greedy I have both,

Mk1 definately
mk2 looks more bland, tried to look like clios etc,, the original big grill cannot be missed whether you llike it or not
mk2 almost identical to the corsa, ie a eurobox
mk2 didnt get quarterlight dem isters
mk2 1.2 is totally slow compared to the carb 1.2 and i think it is almost slower than the 1.0!
mk2 interior is stupid, the door pockets actually get in the way of the seatbelts
mk2s rust like fiats
mk2s were built like fiats
want me to continue...i am a bit biased although I actually own 2 mks2!

Nothing wrong with it but everyone now wants that mk1 front end so it's getting a little tedious tbh.
Mk1 all the way mk2 looks like a nuns car lol
