The only thing that went wrong with the NOVA or CHEVOTA, is the alternator went bad, which cost me $150 American.
The total cost for the CHEVOTA is about $400 American. Not bad for a first car.
The NOVA currently has 1832256.5 miles on it, and still run perfectly well.
When I bought the car, I was told that the carburetor was the first one that was put in it, like it came with the car 21 years ago... well anyways, the car runs nice and I would love to own another Chevy one day.
It's a nice little car, gets me from point A to point B. No exactly a speed machine, like maybe 100HP, nothing more.
This car is basically a Toyota Corolla. If you think you want to own a brand new Chevy and have that kind of reliability, you might as well go to your Toyota dealership.
These cars are good value. You pay a Chevy price for Toyota quality. I've seen them with well over 350,000 miles and still running strong with no major rebuilds, only routine maintanence. When it's time to trade up, I'd recommend a Geo/Chevy Prism. Same thing, Chevy name on a Toyota Corolla, but it's a much newer model.
