Dont worry guys and galslol I am not gonna change my 500 anytime soon. But if was to, I have found the dream retro car. It makes the 500 look hypermodern:( It is the coolest almost new car I have ever seen:icon_thumleft: Unfortunately they dont sell them in Norway as they only comes RHD:(

I love the Nissan Figaro! But the problem is that it is not sold anymore. It was sold only in Japan and there was so much people in the UK interested in it that there were imported some of them.
Actually it is a collectable car.
There is one on sale in Germany:

I often see a Figaro parked at the local Sainsburys. I have always liked them:cool:
Also if you watch BBC 1 on Sunday mornings , Andrew Marr drives one to the studiolol

The Metropolitan is great, but not something you can use as a daily driver anymore. That would be great with a new Figaro, that you could use it as a modern car:) In my mind a car looks better, the older it looks. :cool:

But the Micra ain`t a bad car. It is reliable like a japanese car should be(even if it is made in GB). Only problem is that it is so unbeliveble boringlol
The Figaro ain`t.

We used to have some Micras on my last workplace and they where a lot more reliable than vw, audis etc.. They where rent a cars, so not nicely threated either....
