A Nova Gsi handles quite well and goes alright, a xe one goes like shit of a shovel but the handling isn't great in stockish form.
Yes I've driven both with a 2.0 Zetec and my own car with a 1.7 Zetec lump abet the puma engine is all alloy both cars where fitted with AP coilovers and having owned every sort of engine vauxhall nova including a 300bhp nova turbo with all the correct suspension and handling mods
The Ka handles better in every sense I'd say my current setup is near enough on par with a standard 2.0 16v nova performance wise but has the huge advantage it will round corners
My wifes Sportka feels even better with it being slightly wider track I can throw it into any corner and turn in and it grips where as a nova understeers and goes straight on
