whoever drives this car would be the most stylish person on the street
Hands down
Would be also the most dead in case of accident
Alec from TC is stylish AF
@@eleftherios11 lmao
There is a couple in my area, I love seeing this thing 😂
I have one of these cars and drive it daily. Has never let me down.
If you don't mind, how did you come by one? It's my dream to own one of these one day

-Tedward, 2020
Beautiful! My father bought the only Figaro sold new in Portugal back in 93 and we still own it today. It is a garage queen, having traveled only 7 thousand kms from new (around 4 thousand miles), making it a perfect time capsule. It is such a joy to drive, a true event every time one gets behind the wheel!
I'm thrilled somebody has finally given the Figaro a thorough review, having approached it just in the right way. Great job, Tedward!
Drive it more and enjoy it. I don't think they're appreciating in value.
I bought one for My girlfriend a year ago, it was sold on e-bay some 300 miles from me.The deal done, I arranged to have the car driven to Teddington ( she was flying home from looking after her mother in Portugal) She loved that car and recently took it to Nissan Figaro specialists to have a cosmetic and mechanical evaluation, the news wasn't good as the entire sub frame was severely rotted and would not pass it's annual MOT without significant cash injection. Needless to say she is devastated, so if ever your father wants to sell it send me a message, we intend to live somewhere in or around Torres Vedras near Lisbon her name is Maria Luisa Almeida Pereira, ps, normally before I buy any car I get the RAC to do a pre purchase inspection and unfortunately, I didn't have time on this occasion to put that in place, a lesson learned
Amazing. I never thought they sold here. Never seen one in the wild as well.
And in the classified ads the ones i see are clearly imported. Such a fun car though.
@@MrCarGuy I can't imagine owning and a car and not driving it. 7k kms is nothing, wow. Even my older cars I've driven because that's what I like about them, driving them, not watching them sit. Different strokes...
Brutal! O volante é lado esquerdo? Eu pensava que era só para o mercado japonês
This has been my dream car for years, I wanted to know more about it. Thank you ❤️
Any time! Thanks 😊
Hahaha i liked the "if u do the math & slaped a bunch of keys= 75 hp per liter" 😂😂🤙. Ove never heard of this car. Thnx for showing us this beauty
This car aged well, when I see it on the street here in Europe I keep thinking its a new car
You made my day when you said the cars personality. I have always said that the cars from the earlier days showed the true feeling of their designers if you look closely at cars and trucks from the 50s 60s and 70s some even seem to have smiles or expressions. And this little car certainly seems to have a smile.🚘
The cool thing is that this isn't even a 50s or 60s car, in fact, it was designed in the early 90s!
I am trying so hard... but I can't help but secretly like this car!
5:55 Would love to drive through a crowd of people :O
he thought he was driving mustang
He would end up injured. Not those people. :D
I want one of these so badly everything is perfect style wise
ya know, I’ve never really got to appreciate these little Figaro’s but i lowkey want one now
10:24 The truck drivers are a little crazy there, you go to almost (tachometer speed) 120 km/h and they overtake you !!
Duncan Imports may have more of these for sale than anyone in the US. They are currently listing 140 of them, in all price ranges.
I’ve lost count on the amount of times I’ve watched this video and the 67 fiat 500 vid I love these low horsepower town cars 😂😊
The figaro makes sense now! I didn't realize they were a convertible!
5:55 This isn't a Mustang!
Lolll
The more videos I see of these cars the more I want one ! Thanks
Driving this car is just massive overdrip!
Love it
watching you drive give me so much joy
Absolutely LOVE the retro style and details of this car. WHY oh why can Nissan not re-imagine this car onto Sentra or Ultima platform? Picture this against a Miata, Subaru BRZ, or Toyota GR86, think $25k-$35k, keeping all the cute style points.
I LOVE this car!! Fantastic video, thank you!!
A car that reminds you to enjoy the drive and take in the scenery. But what's better is that this car is lovely inside too. AND it was back when Nissan made reliable cars.
I had the 1 litre Nissan Micra this is based on ( also a Mitsubishi Evo 4 320 Bhp at the same time 😂) loved it This is cute and very smooth
That "drive through a crowd of people" cought me off guard!
Awesome! Once i saw it on winding road I went looking for your video on it!
Their based on the Micra from the 2000s, so is front wheel drive, and is super lightweight so is actually really fun. What an icon, too.
Wasn't it based on the 1st gen Micra? It was made in 1991, so...
@@Nickoboss29 that was the one I meant, sorry I am one year out. 😂🥴🤦♂️
@@maxnewtsno prob! A modern Figaro would be the L880K Daihatsu Copen Kei Car
Great video (as usual), and what a car! Thanks for "sharing" her ;) Ryn, Cape Town
Thanks Ryn!
Looks quite nice and new even today!
The perfect weekend car. Quirky, small, convertible, but oh so fun. I love this thing, and I would totally buy it. A summer drive to the countryside in this convertible,The Marriage of Figaro blasting in the background, perfection! It is also great because it can somewhat get up to highway speeds, and it is not totally stuck in the dinosaur age like classic vintage cars are. It is a simple, honest, but brilliant looking ride
Thanx for the drive mate
Any time!
just watching this made me smile the entire time! Tedward, what modern vehicles do you think bring similar joy?
I’m glad! I’ll have to think on that. I really can’t call out a modern car that makes me feel this happy and silly.
Maybe a Vw beetle? beetles and figaros are my dream cars
The Dahiatsu Copen! It's also very similar to this but more modern and with much less chrome and has a manual transmission
Finally a car that makes my Fiat 500E look like a Hummer. Thanks for the joyful review of this little gem.
It really deserves a manual transmission. Fun shifting through the gears and better highway cruising.
I love these cars and really, really want to own one someday. So cool to know there's one here in MA!!
In Hammer: I hope I don't kill anything
In Figaro: I hope nothing kills me.
This is better than most of their vehicles nowadays XD
Oh my god, I want one of these now!
I'd be happy with this thing.
Always liked the idea.
I’ve always loved the Fugaro, I wish I had one to drive around ( like you did in the video) and put it in classic car shows. Those Nash Metropolitans were cool too, I’d love to have one of those also.
Massachusetts is so beautiful!
Greetings from Poland!
Thanks!!!
This made me so happy
I want that car 😭
Glad that my mini SE is similar in a way.
If it's in the good condition it's very easy to speed up to 75-85mph and keep going.
Technology Connections has one of these, and gaming wheels fixed it. Such a fun little car.
I love mine 🤗 I smile the whole time and I make everyone I see smile too👍
Seems like an excellent Nantucket car!
Perfection
Great video! I love the fact that you get the feeling of a 1960s car in a semi-modern package. I’m in the same boat. I want a RHD Import in my garage. I have the Nissan Pao on my list because I love the hatchback and it comes in a 5 speed
Thanks! The pao is another cool pike factory special
Great video Tedward! Did the Figaro get pushed around by the truck's wake when it passed you on your left?
Not too badly!
It's sad I can't get my hands on one in Russia. Not only because it's rare, but also because of a rather bumpy roads in many places of the country.
Thanks for the review! It made me so happy!
However, the roads in this video are about the same as in my city plus few hundreds kms around it. The only problem is that it's rare as hell :C
Same, our roads in Saint Lucia have a few unavoidable potholes, thin speedbumbs and bumpy roads. I want it but I'm not sure how much it can take on a road with such conditions. ^^''
My dream car ❤ I'd kill for one of these
11:21 loved that line 😂
LOL, re: being overtaken by a semi, I had the same feeling when I owned a Fiero...probably about as low to the ground as this!
These cars are adorable
THIS IS MY BABY BOY DREAM CAR. HE REPEATED WATCHING THIS VLOG....
This is so cute!! I want one!
almost thoght it was an RCR video with that intro
Also, walking up to the wrong side of the car :)
Amazing. I’m looking to buy this as my first car but we don’t know how Much it is to insured
i am buying one, thats for sure.
my favourite car x
How is the leg room? I'm 2.03 meters tall but I would love to own this car some day.
Love the car and the video. Curious why the video is 50fps?
For cars with digital displays 50 frames seemed to reduce the flickering compared to 60 frames. Flicker is more a function of shutter speed than fps but locking shutter on a GoPro is asking for trouble in variable light
how many odd stares and compliments do you get with this lovely thing? Being a RHD makes it already cool enough, but how do people actually react?
People light up and wave like they’re seeing the cutest puppy in the word 😆
What car did you say you’d prefer? A fiero? There’s a dealer in VA/TN that has 81 of these.
lets all manifest this car lol
I want a fun to drive rhd jdm car, and I was really down to the beat or the cappo (my friend has a cappo) . But maybe I should add the figaro to the list
Certainly more a cruiser than the Beat or Cap but plenty entertaining
I want this car sosososoossoosososososo badly
Finally a American pronouncing Nissan right, thx sir.
EDIT: will at least in the intro..
Wish they would've used a 270 or 180 degree twin or t-plane triple for that...
It looks like an awesome car. I am tall (5'10) and trying to figure out if I would fit in this car. Was it a comfortable fit for you & can you advise?
I own one of these and I’m 5ft 10, I fit, if I sit more upright my head sometimes touches the roof pillar. It’s not a perfect fit for a taller person but I’d rather have vertebrae removed than sell it
Cool car! I don’t know if I’d want to be in one on the highway😂
Haha I promise you don’t. I did about 70 miles on the highway in this and the h1. Yikes.
Great video. Would be all over this vehicle if highway capability was greater, but... 😣😣
Love this car…. Missed out on a chance to buy 1. It it 1 owner did 63 k and for £8 grand
You should drive a Classic mini sometime
I want one but don’t know where to buy it
Have you driven an AZ-1? You'd find them quite fun.
Sure have! There’s a video of it from the summer on here
"... how much you rely on markings as a driver"...
About 10 percent of the road network in my country has those white line alongside the edge. If not less than that :(
I really want the pao. Figaros remind me of rockos car from rockos modern life
That’s accurate 😂
"The Happiest Car on Earth"
Hmm, that's a funny looking Renault Twingo... :D
Another great video as always man!
Haha thanks man
I WANT ONE BUT.....there is not even a single Figaro in my Country
Always reminds me of Columbo's Peugeot.
What is this? Smug central?
This car says tyler the creator all over it (especially since he dropped his “call me if you get lost” album)
Nissan rules
how much would gas be in this thing?
Its funny the car must be terrifying to drive on the highway. It is low to the ground, and unlike a Porsche trucks go zipping by you. Also I found a car more attention getting than my mk 3.5 VW Cabrio. Girls especially like my VW, and Im sure they would be all over that figaro. Lol but no manual and the 2.0 4cyl n/a makes twice the power. However heavier car, but I can get mine up to 80 at least. If I keep my VW I think I may do a VR6 swap. IDK why VW did not make a gti version of the cabrio. It would be like a poor mans front wheel drive 996 or something like that. Somewhat fast, but fits within the parameters of a front wheel drive gulf platform.
Cool
You have a 3rd channel?! WHAT!?
Just the one
I want to see this thing go to a nissan dealership
That would have been a good idea haha
cute car like noddy lol
Wait we have the same color Fig, the same cracks in the dash. Did we just become best friends?
Damb i thought the hood could leave by itslef
Japan made Figaro to thank Britain for making the Mini Cooper. :)
from Japan
It’s actually really quiet
A replica of the Autobianchi Bianchina!
Not gonna lie, as much as I love this car, it’s definitely not something I would drive in the motorway (or if I did, over take anyone)...they’d be so peeved at being passed by such a small ‘Noddy-esqu’ car they’d want to regain their man/woman-hood......and that’s before we get to passing /getting passed by trucks etc....it’s definitely more of a city car, that said driving a car like this makes one realise it really is about the journey as much as the destination.
咦？車主是在美國開車嗎？在美國，汽車的方向盤應該在汽車的左邊吧！這輛車方向盤在右邊，美國汽車監理機關會核發牌照嗎？
Huh? Does the owner drive in the US? In the United States, the steering wheel of a car should be on the left side of the car! The steering wheel of this car is on the right, will the US motor vehicle supervision agency issue a license plate?
i want it
no, i don't want one, i NEED one.
Song in the being ?
I thinl it was biggie " going back 2 cali" 😎
It's Robin Williams singing from the opening scene in Mrs. Doubtfire lol
