The Vauxhall Nova was produced by [[General Motors]] between 1983 and 1993, primarily for the [[United Kingdom|British]] market. It replaced the [[Vauxhall Chevette]] and [[Opel Kadett|Opel Kadett City]]. All Nova and Vauxhall Corsa models were made in Spain, with the first British customers taking delivery of their cars in April 1983. It gave Vauxhall a much-needed modern competitor in the UK supermini market, as the Chevette was older than the majority of its competitors, chiefly the [[Ford Fiesta]] and [[Austin Metro]]. | The Vauxhall Nova was produced by [[General Motors]] between 1983 and 1993, primarily for the [[United Kingdom|British]] market.

Sales in the UK were strong right up to the end, but by the time the last Nova was made in early 1993, it was looking very dated in comparison to more modern rivals like the [[Peugeot 106]] and [[Renault Clio]]. Its successor was the Corsa (B); the first Vauxhall to adopt the same model name as the Opel version. | Sales in the UK were strong right up to the end, but by the time the last Nova was made in early 1993, it was looking very dated in comparison to more modern rivals like the [[Peugeot 106]] and [[Renault Clio]].

The new Corsa is available in both three and five-door versions, and once again marketed as a Vauxhall in the UK. The same engines sizes from the Corsa C were available at launch, although the 1.3 L CDTI and 1.7 L CDTI engines were upgraded, with power ranging from {{convert|75|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|125|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}. The {{convert|192|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} OPC/VXR version went on sale in early 2007, with a 1.6 L [[turbocharged]] petrol engine powering the front wheels. The {{convert|75|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} 1.3 CDTI engine was updated in mid-2007 to bring CO<sub>2</sub> levels to just 119 g/km, meaning that a full 12 months road fund licence is £35. | The new Corsa is available in both three and five-door versions, and once again marketed as a Vauxhall in the UK.
