Why I love my Figaro by Keith Evans, California USA

I am an ex-pat Brit now living in California. I had never seen, nor even heard of, a Nissan Figaro. Then, on a trip back to the UK, I saw this cool, quirky, retro car passing by, “What on Earth is that?”, I asked my sister. “No idea”, she replied. Read More

Why I love my Figaro by PF Mayes

Not long ago, we decided to get a ‘toy car’ for a bit of fun at the weekends when the sun shone. My immediate thoughts were for an MGB roadster with chrome bumpers and wire wheels – something a bit butch that maybe would need a bit of regular spanner… Read More

Why I love my Figaro by Helen Robinson

My car ‘Foxy’ is the perfect car, ideal to drive as its automatic no fiddly gears and clutch to deal with.  Small enough for me and the occasional guest in the passenger seat, parking is a doddle.  Having such a good heater makes driving with the top down fantastic whatever… Read More

Why I love my Figaro by Gillian Warnell

Odd, quirky, different – but enough about me what about my car? They say owners can look like their pets (Sharon in Eastenders and Roly anybody?) but can a car adequately represent them and their personality? Well there certainly is an argument to say so given the tasteless and brash… Read More

To explain why I adore my Figaro, ‘Betty’, is like trying to explain the chemistry with a newfound partner, a parent’s love for a child, it’s impossible to express in words… she’s a part of me and I just do. Yes, she looks fantastic, exuding elegance and class, but it’s… Read More

Figaros make us smile. Occasionally seeing one in London, and smiling despite being in yet another traffic jam, led us to buy ours 10 years ago. In 2005, UK imports weren’t common but we found a private seller an hour’s drive away, and a proper look at the car’s special… Read More

Why I love my Figaro by Brian Akre

No car I have ever driven elicits as many smiles, waves and thumbs-up as my little Figaro. It’s rolling sunshine — a bright, happy little car. It’s not for everybody. It’s slow. Its design is a bit feminine, with its curvaceous lines and pastel shades. It is terminally cute, yet… Read More

Just the thought of my beautiful Figaro MayBelle brings a big smile to my face. This transcends onto everybody she meets, it’s the ‘MayBelle affect’. Life is all about experiences and adding to the movie strip in your mind, the adventures I have had with MayBelle have created so many. Read More

Why I love my Figaro by Ken Graham

Three reasons – it’s so unique, it’s so similar…., and you become a member of a tremendously friendly Figaro family. I’d never been a ‘car club’ person. Although I had always liked the Figaro and always took time to go and have a close look at any I saw. I… Read More
