Alrite peeps,
Just thinking are novas still cool. Just a my mate who is on about getting a civic keeps harping on about how good they are and how terrible novas are!!! What makes it even worse is another mate has a civic so they're ganging up on me. I think my nova is great anything i can say to shut these smart ****s up or am i just tottaly beaten. Sorry for the rant i have had better days..:mad:

Soft horrible steering and clutch with vague soft suspension on the LSi models. VTi is fast but then again so is a XE'd Nova. To quote Fast Lane april 1992 "the Japanese VTi fails to live up to its stunning squat, purposeful looks. Again its struggles to put its horses to good use. Hard cornering always results in push on, wheel spinning understeer that can become alarming in the wet. The interior is stunning too... Stunningly dire that is, littered with cheap fittings, lousy seats and tacky switch gear" If you need anymore pub ammo, ill photocopy the article!! Just try and change a cambelt or clutch on our little Japanese friend and you'll wish it was a Nova.

Mind you the honda engines are hard to kill, all my collegues at work have honda civics apart from me but its ok, cos they are always having to sort out, water leaks, leccy window probs, central locking probs etc.
I always say they are entitled to their own opinions, and yes a civic would be nice but hell am I gonna pay the insurance for it!
I like what I like and a retro nova is one of my likes.

Hard to compete with a rally bred Celica.
