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.
