I have been a proud owner of Nova135 for over 7 months. My boyfriend owns a Nova (115 CC) for over 2 years & the experience we had with it was a driving factor in deciding my vehicle.
With Nova , you just cannot go wrong.It gives you the best mileage among its rivals (45-50 KMPL), a pure pleasure to drive (Its so smooth, you would to zip along in it), great looks & very low maintenance. It also gives you amazing storage space.I have seen several Activa owners gape in astonishment at how much my nova holds :)
Yeswhile the height maybe a concern for those shorter than 55, it is only a matter of getting used to.Im 54 & was a little apprehensive when I went for a test drive for Nova 135 as I could place both my feet on the ground unless I come to the edge of the seat(It is taller than the 115 CC as the ground clearance has been increased significantly), but am glad I still decided to go for it. Within days, I got used to the height factor.
I have seen some reviews that said Nova135 is not for girls. I would say if you are a Gal who needs power & solid performance then Nova is for you.Ofcourse Pep will serve the purpose of getting you around the city but you need be prepared for a disappointment in terms of power.A Pep cannot climb a flyover with two people comfortably.You can see it struggling!!!!To me Pep is good for college students but still overly priced!!!
To sum up, Nova is great value for money & activa is far cry from Nova 135. So if you trying to decide between a activa or a Nova , go for the Nova 135 Blindly...You are certian to fall in love with it!!!!!!!!
