Which car is it? I cant remember

[philv]

Hi

Trying to remember a car.

It is a car from japan or similar.
From the 80s or 90s i think

4 seater with full length roll back sunroof.

Styling is like a niddy car.

1 litre engine or less.

Ver cute.

Very stylised inside - nice details'

Colours mainly pastels i think.

I cant rememer the make etc.

Any ideas?

No problem, you had me completely stumped though when you thought it was something else...

Im thinking it would make a great first car for girlfriend when she passes her test in an auto.

Om hoping insurance is cheap.

S-Cargo with back seats?

One of those Micra based things by Viewt?

I know pretty much nothing about them, probably try a google search for a buyers guide/owners forum etc. I can't see a 20 year old import being insurance friendly though.

Nissan Pao?

Not knowing anything about the Figaro and being mildly curious I just had a quick search..

Sorry but that's a fking pointless thing to try and hint at. It's an owners club, the place most go when something is wrong. Few join to say "hey my car doesn't have a problem".

Go on any model/marque specific forum and it'll be exactly the same.

daihatsu copen
suzuki cappuccino

But both are only 2 seats.

Slightly off topic, but why take your test in an auto? Seems a little limiting really.

Personally I quite like these, but remember they are JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) imports. So insurance might be higher on them. Parts and maintenance, while well supported in the UK, still won't be like running a Corsa or Fiesta.

Aprt from that I see no reason why not.

There were even some at a show I went too on Wednesday:



The interiors are quite nice on them too.

Calm down sweetheart, you have to be a member to see any other posts on that forum, that was the only info that I could quickly link from the owners club. I wasnt interested enough to sign up to it, maybe the op will if he wants more comprehensive knowledge about the vehicle.

Suggest you go get a beer to sort out the hangover that you must have

Auto because she is 39 and struggling to learn.
8 hrs to get out of the car park when she was having lessons,

Insurance is 1000 for her for figaro.

But adding me to policy and her on mine.
Going with admiral multicar it goes down to 550 for her.
And my policy as cheap as current insurer.
Excellent.

She can have the choice of nissan micra or figaro.

I want the figaro!!!!!

Bet she choses the micra :-(

I can't be the only one who finds that worrying...

I'd go Figaro too, maybe take her to see one and let her see how much nicer they are inside. Also worth noting that they have very strong residuals too, so if she wants to change in a year or so, she'll likely be able to sell it on for about the same money, where as a Micra will lose a lot of value.

Mazda 121 with Webasto sunroof?

I'd choose the one with the best saftey rating and the most airbags
