Mike I think he plays football at the same time as me at the local park as I sometimes see it there
Disclaimer might not be the same car but it does look the same
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

can't say i've seen that around mate but an xe nova is on par with my focus so should be a right laugh driving it!
i'd get it if you don't do many miles, otherwise it'd get annoying afer a while due to hard suspension/rattles/not much comfort etc.
does look clean though

Whether it looks clean or not I personally think its a MAJOR downstep from an M3 to a nova
They are just sooooooo dated lookin now and a right boy racers car imo

i agree eck, but mike said he wants something cheaper but fun.
could always get a newer car like a clio/106 but they might not be mikes idea of fun.

I know what you mean Ben but I just think there are much better cars out there for £2.5k than a clean nova.
MK1 Clio sport for example are very good buys and cheap as chips now and look superb imo

He can even manage a MK2 model

Then the 106 must have been a really bad one mike lol
Its upto you right enough I just dont see why people rave about novas lol, there very dated inside and out. I'd rather have a corsa imo
If its what floats your boat mate then go for it but I must tip my hat to you sir goin from a stunnin M3 to a clean nova

Aye, I dunno what it is, novas just don't appeal anymore. Unless its got a decent engine and is spotless.
You used to have one didn't you?

I would stick the M3 up on ebay/pistonheads and sell there, I think you would miss the m3 tbh if you swapped for the nova.

Surely a LET corsa wont be cheaper to own than a 3L M3?
