Faults:
Auto-choke not working correctly, after using carb cleaner seems a bit better.
All 3 dashboard lights went blew (heater, clock etc)
That's it.
The only problem I have is the MPG I get around about 30, should be nearer to 40. I don't know what this is.
General Comments:
The seats are brilliant they hold you in nicely.
Ride is a bit harsh, but acceptable.
Very quick for a 1.3 lump, raced lots of cars beaten most. I've had it at 122MPH with 2 other people in the car at 5,400RPM. timmed the 0-62 bog standard in 8.9secs.
I did have an air-filter on it and an exhaust, but took them off.
Very good condition, starts first time apart from the choke mucking me about Sometimes.
The car has a lot of grip, nice for racing!
Very easy to get it to wheel spin in 2nd without trying.

It would be nice to know how practical a car the Nova is, given the size engine you have as opposed to hearing how fast it goes when "caned"... Still, perhaps one day when you get bigger you will realise that beating saxo's isn't what life is about.. Get yourself an M5, perhaps then you will know what "fast" is.
