Vicky's choice of car in a contest whereby Jeremy and Vicky must purchase a car with a limited budget and then tune it up, for a later face off. Despite the Nova's agile performance, the sheer power of Jeremy's Rover was too much, leading to its victory. However, in reality the Nova only really lost due to a loss of control...

This car is to chavs what the Crown Victoria is to American law enforcement.

Tell me about it :( However I believe the Citroen Saxo was dubbed the most tunable car for youth culture. The Vauxhall Nova however is apparently the most stolen car for joyriders.

Here the Peugeot 205 & 206 are much more used for that than the Saxo, I think.

The 205 doesn't deserve that sort of treatment :(

Novas are the chav car of yesteryear. There's very few of them around now, at least where I live. Nowadays it's all about Corsas, which are about the girliest looking cars on the road. It's so embarassing seeing them with oversized wheels and a roaring exhaust.

You seem very insecure about certain things ;)

I think it would be better if you confronted them in private ;)

Amazing job they did with this Nova. But in the end still was a Nova... with pink checkers... and that means I still hate it.
