are they too old school you think? wouldnt mind a newer car, but i love the shape of the novas but thinking to get another one after me last one got vandalised before i could finish what i wanted to do to it.
what to do? its either get a gsi nova or gsi corsa i think but not sure or maybe a tuned sri corsa/nova cant spend much. what ya think opinions please. cheers

If you can buy a 1.4SRi nova, they are not much slower than GSi to start with, then you can stick a good exhaust on it and a set of T40's and a 285 cam will see you to around 105-110BHP can't go wrong and sounds pretty nice.

Nova is such a better drive and has a much more "fun" factor than the Corsa, Corsa is to soft and girly.
The thing with Novas is, unless is immaculate you will look like a chav.

Nova GSis rock. I know a guy that got a standard GSi last year and hes done a bit of an engine conversion......
and think hes planning on getting it resprayed pearlescent black this summer to tidy the bodywork up and finish it off
Should be looking sweeter than it does now once hes had it resprayed

Intresting.. when mine goes in the bodyshop I shall have the black lines like this added to my bumpers, I feel I will also go to Vauxhall and get that badge on my new grille.
I also like the Corsa gear gaitor, time to source of these, notice he has heated seats as well and a MFD from a Mk4 Astra. Very nice car.
