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

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
I am trying so hard... but I can't help but secretly like this car!
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 😂😊
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!
This car aged well, when I see it on the street here in Europe I keep thinking its a new car
I want one of these so badly everything is perfect style wise
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
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
The figaro makes sense now! I didn't realize they were a convertible!
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 !!
That "drive through a crowd of people" cought me off guard!
Finally a car that makes my Fiat 500E look like a Hummer. Thanks for the joyful review of this little gem.
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.
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.
In Hammer: I hope I don't kill anything
In Figaro: I hope nothing kills me.
watching you drive give me so much joy
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.
The more videos I see of these cars the more I want one ! Thanks
Driving this car is just massive overdrip!
Love it
I LOVE this car!! Fantastic video, thank you!!
5:55 This isn't a Mustang!
Lolll
This is better than most of their vehicles nowadays XD
Awesome! Once i saw it on winding road I went looking for your video on it!
Looks quite nice and new even today!
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
Thanx for the drive mate
Any time!
Great video (as usual), and what a car! Thanks for "sharing" her ;) Ryn, Cape Town
Thanks Ryn!
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
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
I'd be happy with this thing.
Always liked the idea.
Massachusetts is so beautiful!
Greetings from Poland!
Thanks!!!
I love these cars and really, really want to own one someday. So cool to know there's one here in MA!!
Glad that my mini SE is similar in a way.
This made me so happy
I want that car 😭
Oh my god, I want one of these now!
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
THIS IS MY BABY BOY DREAM CAR. HE REPEATED WATCHING THIS VLOG....
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.
Finally a American pronouncing Nissan right, thx sir.
EDIT: will at least in the intro..
11:21 loved that line 😂
I love mine 🤗 I smile the whole time and I make everyone I see smile too👍
My dream car ❤ I'd kill for one of these
Technology Connections has one of these, and gaming wheels fixed it. Such a fun little car.
This is so cute!! I want one!
i am buying one, thats for sure.
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. ^^''
Great video Tedward! Did the Figaro get pushed around by the truck's wake when it passed you on your left?
Not too badly!
If it's in the good condition it's very easy to speed up to 75-85mph and keep going.
These cars are adorable
Seems like an excellent Nantucket car!
Perfection
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!
my favourite car x
almost thoght it was an RCR video with that intro
Also, walking up to the wrong side of the car :)
I want this car sosososoossoosososososo badly
lets all manifest this car lol
This car says tyler the creator all over it (especially since he dropped his “call me if you get lost” album)
Great video. Would be all over this vehicle if highway capability was greater, but... 😣😣
How is the leg room? I'm 2.03 meters tall but I would love to own this car some day.
no, i don't want one, i NEED one.
You should drive a Classic mini sometime
Amazing. I’m looking to buy this as my first car but we don’t know how Much it is to insured
Love this car…. Missed out on a chance to buy 1. It it 1 owner did 63 k and for £8 grand
What car did you say you’d prefer? A fiero? There’s a dealer in VA/TN that has 81 of these.
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.
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
I WANT ONE BUT.....there is not even a single Figaro in my Country
Always reminds me of Columbo's Peugeot.
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
"The Happiest Car on Earth"
Hmm, that's a funny looking Renault Twingo... :D
Another great video as always man!
Haha thanks man
Wish they would've used a 270 or 180 degree twin or t-plane triple for that...
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 😆
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
Nissan rules
"... 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 :(
It’s actually really quiet
Japan made Figaro to thank Britain for making the Mini Cooper. :)
from Japan
Wait we have the same color Fig, the same cracks in the dash. Did we just become best friends?
I want one but don’t know where to buy it
I really want the pao. Figaros remind me of rockos car from rockos modern life
That’s accurate 😂
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.
A replica of the Autobianchi Bianchina!
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.
cute car like noddy lol
What is this? Smug central?
You have a 3rd channel?! WHAT!?
Just the one
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
Cool
00:07 フィガロよりこっちの方が衝撃的で草
how much would gas be in this thing?
Damb i thought the hood could leave by itslef
I want to see this thing go to a nissan dealership
That would have been a good idea haha
i want it
Figaro is the name of My cat :D
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?
