What engine is in the Nova? If it's got an XE or 2.0 Ecotec it might be a good bit of weekend fun.

come on folks...we all know the 206 is just as bad for chavs as the saxo!
If you did the swap - it would make for a terrible daily driver, but as something to drive now and then it would be great. I have a soft spot for a clean nova. Overall though the 206 is the much better all-rounder. Or do the swap and buy an older 206 diesel? It might have to be a 1.9d though

All small cars go through phases of being a bit chavvy. After a while though seeing one out and about is a good thing. How many genuinely clean Novas or even early Corsas are about? If it's a nice clean GSi then garage it and bring it out in a few years time and it will be appreciated.

They can be done subtly and looks really nice but for practical reasons deffinatly not, i couldnt get on without the modern features the pug has. if you can have both then do it but if not deffinatly dont do it!

The fact you're even asking this question makes me think you're not fit to own a 206. Get out now, and never come back!
Hell, get a saxo and i'd have more respect for you left!

Ugh, come on was that a serious question? A nova? Over what? At least get a decent car if you're upgrading (and not downgrading).
