it was a 1.4 sxi
Was so impressed at the styling and the saftey features and things you get in it. There are some good touches, everything is in reach. and its massive 
but the drive.....oh my god soooo boring and mundane. Sports seats are ace. but you sit about a mile from the window screen and there is just no feel in the car whatso ever. so disapointed
anyone else driven one?

Brand-new cars dont mate. Old cars will always be better. Feel how they drive ALOT better, IMO

I've driven one. Handled better than my Corsa B. Alot less body roll aswell.
Got used to depth of the dash after about 2 miles

What you talking about you drive what I would call a new car.
Have a go in the Nova, excellent fun, it does exactly what you want it to do

Unless you slam them, fit a loud exhaust and filter.

yes its newer, but doesnt have the lacklustre feel of cars less than 3 years old, it does carry a level of rawness and feedback. Not like my 106 gti, but some

i think there is an exception to ur belief that newer cars aren't all that, driven a renaultsport 172cup, 182 (cup or cup packed) or trophy and you'll have such a giggle!
my car is easily the most fun, adjustable, and best handling car ive driven
