I bought one of these a few months ago and have it in Michigan. Your review is great and spot on... I have owned a lot of old cars but nothing that generates the amount of positive attention as my Figaro. When the top is closed there is more storage space in the upper trunk in back. There is also a back seat for more stuff. My two kids actually fit back there, albeit not for long trips.
Remember they only came in four colours..summer autumn spring and fall....nice touch. This car in vid doesn't have the "extras" like the front light eyelids or the chrome side edging panel or the wheel arch chrome trim., and the chrome mirror covers.Must haves for the collector
Thanks for the review ! I saw one on the road here in Texas and instantly caught my eye. I had a ‘64 MG MK1 ….. I worked on it all week so I could drive it on the weekend. Really think I will buy a Figaro.
A weekend car?? I live in Scotland. This is an everyday, normal car 😂 We see them buzzing around all the time; they definitely aren’t a special occasion car.
Man, I really love the looks of this car. Shame how Nissan thought that this car won`t be popular so they only them in limited quantities. I really wish more companies would make retro inspired cars like this. I really like the Miata based sports car styled after classic Corvettes called Mitsuoka Rockstar but those things are pretty expensive ahhh
What a great golf cart. Too bad there's no room for the clubs. lol I'd buy it, but I think my Yugo would be jealous. I like the clock incorporated into the tach gauge.
The Fiat 500 didn't come back out in the late 90's/early 2000's...not until 2007 overseas. My buddy and I got to see one of these at cars and coffee in Winnetka ILL😉
You mean the retrostyled 2007 modern one, the Cinquecento (500) name came back in the 90s but it was a small 3 door econobox which was replaced by the 600 that was a bit rounder
Starting to see the older imports being brought in. After 25 years they are exempt from EPA/safety regulations. That's why you will start seeing stuff from the early nineties now. Before that you could not legally bring them in. Right now the stuff coming in are pretty old in technology etc.. But in a few more years one might bring in a mint condition Toyota prado (like a land cruiser) with the intercooled diesel engine. wouldn't mind getting my hands on a nice diesel prado.
@@RaitisRides If these are such great cars, why would anyone get rid of it. Perhaps trying to get parts for replacement. Good luck on locating parts...a nightmare.
Even if you buy one from a dealer, they probably do not carry the replacement parts you may need. You may have to take a trip back to Japan to get your part.

Thanks Steve for sharing your great experience from your ownership!
Omg! Did you imported? How you take tickets from parking? 😂 that’s my biggest question!!! I dreammmm with this car! There is one super famous on ig
Still got it??
I still have it. My older son took it to prom and it’s been in at least a dozen weddings for photos and driveways. It is still running flawlessly.
@@stevelovescars I love itttt!!!
I kinda want it.... definitely one to stand out in the crowd
Very surprised at the exhaust sound of the figaro. Doesn't sound too shabby.

Good one Joe. Like these “lesser known” car reviews. I didn’t know such a creature is existed. Take care guys.
What an exquisite little machine. BTW, it was also Sarah Jane's iconic car on the Doctor Who tv series.
A weekend car?? I live in Scotland. This is an everyday, normal car 😂 We see them buzzing around all the time; they definitely aren’t a special occasion car.
They have a big following here in the UK, even the Dr Who spin off (Sarah Jane Chronicles) drove one.
Thant is really cool Andy! I appreciate you sharing that!
Wow, sweet little NISSAN!
I also like seeing the little roads through OLDSMAR & the Drive on Tampa Rd.
Nice!
Thanks Michael! I appreciate you letting me share it with you!
So adorable! They need bring it back and make it EV.
I totally agree with that!
Why would you not want it as a gas engine?
@@leepalmer1210 because gas is on the way out. Electric or hydrogen are the future
It's truly a beautiful little car, thanks for sharing
I am so glad that you liked it!
@@RaitisRides I did, you really do some interesting auto review's
Great job
well priced and such a killer car.
This is the car Columbo would have driven if he'd ever bought a new car.
1700 lbs?! It really does look like an older car. Very cool.
It is a feather light! You are so very right!
Nice set of wheels. We don't get to see something that anymore. Cain of classy. .have a nice ride.
You are so very right! Thanks William for watching!

Same!
Have you ever seen the Daihatsu Copen kei car?
Unique little car and doesn't sound bad for 75hp lol
The engine note sounds a lot like a fiat
Really looks like fun!
Steve it really was a blast!
Feel free to take the Figaro to Cars and Coffee anytime!
Thanks guys I will take you up on that offer!
Weird little car. Cram the 370 Z’s engine in it and it would be a rocket ship. Thanks for sharing it Joe! 👍🏻🇺🇸
It is very unique to say the least!
The drive train wouldn't be able to handle the torque of a real engine.
HansDelbruck53 Of course you would have to update it.
@@HansDelbruck53 So this a fake engine, the car doesn't really move, it just sits there waiting for someone to push it? 🙄
@@another3997what do you mean? It's a 4 cylinder turbo...
Just saw one at a local car show in Raleigh NC.
What a great golf cart. Too bad there's no room for the clubs. lol I'd buy it, but I think my Yugo would be jealous. I like the clock incorporated into the tach gauge.
LMAO! For some reason I do not believe that you have a Yugo! lol
Would believe me if I told you his name his Hugo? ;-)
Peter Carey 😂😂😂😂😂
Mr. Carey, is that you?

Kinda looks like Columbo's old Peugeot.

You are so very right! Give Montu Motors a call! They really are great with bringing cars over!
It's a 1.0 l turbo for sale here in Norway now 😄😄
yes I fricken want it even tho I haven't started the video yet
you forgot the best part of the Figaro, the Roof !
Thanks for the review man , weird car but looks fun thou thanks again
I want this car😊
Yes...... I want its.
This is my dream car...wish the wheel could be on the right side
will the car crumble in a crash ? would you be safe crashing in this car, because it is so small ?
Figaro Figaro Figaro ruclips.net/video/7OC5GmsN9j0/видео.html
does the top portion of the trunk open, hinges?
Trunk is actually the lower portion.
The area above the trunk is where the top folds into if you put the top down. You could probably put stuff in there if you're leaving the top up.
My mother was planning on getting one back in 2013
Then got old and thought not to
Nice car. Too bad they don't make it in left hand drive for the US market.
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Where can i get one near Illinois! i really want one it's so cute
Call Montu Motors

9:58 someone( laughing 😂😂😂
10:40 again 😂😂😂
It's Tom! lol
Tom again! lol
I daydream with this car!!! But how to drive it!!! It’s British! Don’t know how could work this to take even the ticket in a parking lol
The best car ever❤
Gish way better than a fiat 500
Great video, could you review a c43 coupe Mercedes
Montu motors have skylines too...... 😉😉
They will be coming soon!
How much does it cost? Can I buy it? I hate nissan but that car looks cute, I love small cars
It is priced at $17kUSD. Of course you can buy it.
Raiti's Rides oh yes, when will the Corsair comes? I am so excited, I have seen reviews yes but your better in reviewing
you can get one in rough shape that still runs for around 7k
Where can I get one of these?
How much? What a great beach buggy!
looks like an old refrigerator
Rude
@@antoinettecastle4739
Always wondered what on earth thar car was?
😯 Look at that thing!! 😯
So cool!!
I love it!
I am so glad that you liked it!
Roof doesnt work?
Its a cabrio!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one! I really appreciate you watching!
Problem with this car is getting parts when needed. A mechanics nightmare.
Even if you buy one from a dealer, they probably do not carry the
replacement parts you may need. You may have to take a trip
back to Japan to get your part.
I have had no problem getting any part at all for my Fig.
@@antoinettecastle4739where did you get them?
@@Nickoboss29 I'm in the UK but from the Figaro shop in Didcot UK. They will ship almost anywhere
Do you want to sell it to me ?
WTF is that lol
Nissan Figaro! lol
First!!
You are the man!
