1990 Vauxhall Nova Reviews, Pricing & Specs









What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1990 Vauxhall Nova had mixed feelings. Many appreciated its low cost and decent handling, often highlighting its suitability as a first car. However, common complaints included slow performance and limited space, specifically with the rear seats up. The image of the car also drew some negative attention."
A good hatchback for its class, with amazing handling, will take a lot of abuse, and with the back seats down could hold a fair ammount of stuff, though limited space when the seats were up. Only let down by a slightly awkward driving position, and chavvy boy racer image.
April 9, 2008What a poor car, cant really think of anything good to say about these shocking cars.
March 23, 2008I've started to "rat" my nova and it's looking mean!! Rusted bonnet, satin black paint, lots of stickers..... It's only a 1.2 so performance is pretty bad but with 12 points on my licence I can't upgrade the engine.....yet! The car is easy to work on, parts are cheap and easily available and there are plenty of mods out there, so it's easy to make a nova different on a budget. only downside to these cars as far as I can see... I've had two and blown the head on both, and I don't thrash 'em either.
