I don't think they are dated inside, anyway who cares the whole car looks dated but if you appreciate mint cars (excuse the pun) then you will over look the datedness.

My Nova was actually shit, the dashboard moved about 4 inches up and down, the windows took 5 minutes to close, as they were wired in after, the exhaust rattled, it went sideways all the time as the bearings were knackered on the back, the remote locking had a delay, so you had to press the button about 15 seconds before you got to the door, the stereo didnt work properly, the seats were loose, the brakes were crap, the carb always froze, the lights didnt work, the heater was crap, and it got broken in to.

but I loved it

How much was it Matty? I seem to remember it being quite reasonable knowing what was spent on it.

Cant remember the exact figure. Was 7.something. Wasn't anymore than 8k anyway. It really is amazingly clean and well done.

better. go better, stop better, turn better, not so good on the motorway, or in wind, but overall, better.

wouldn't want to crash one though.

Only stop better if you upgrade the brakes to at least 256mm with GSi/GTE servo, deffo go better, and handle better and deffo turn better, if you go on the motorway stay in the slow lane for fear of crosswinds.
