I have a Copen,and people like to stereo-type owners but i have had loads of women and talk to me so it is great they are great cars.as other posters have said people are very surprised by its performance,mine pushes out 83 bhp=125 bhp per litre and the turbo is very trick and it is very free revving engine i.e redlines at 8000rpm and it handles very well,it weighs only 830kg it has the same type of rubber on a Elise and other rarer sports car.The show stopper is the SLK type roof i have had people talk me say WOW.So i have had more fun in my copen than any other car and people who have been on a run can vouch in can hold its own and in the twisties it can be a grreat drive.

You have a Punto... not the prettiest of cars... and you say the Figaro is hideous... talk about people in glass houses!

I think they are great looking little cars,if a little over priced.They remind me of something Italian from the '50's.Certainly they are more individual than the usual tin box hatch back we see by the million on the roads.I'd have one.

It was said in jest, but thinking about it, its odd how some people can laugh, and point at someone elses choice... The Figaro is not designed for 19 year olds, methinks, rather older peeps who want something vintage loking, but with modern convienience...

They remind me of the Nash Metropolitan.
