Cruising in the Nissan Figaro 

Eric Clapton may love it, but the real question is: does Rake love it?

Moogs directions are great: right, right, we'll turn right here.....

I love it. How could anyone give a thumbs down. That was an awesome little car. I wish we had gotten Nissan's like that in America!!

This is one of the best episodes in a while. A little history lesson and some tech info with some driving around a Sydney suburb. Very cool.

Wow I would have never gest the Figaro was 20yrs old.... Looks new to me....

I love the car reviews that these guys do! It's just pure honesty + Sheryl + Tofu. A lot of other car channels could learn a thing or two from these guys. Question for Marty & Moog: What's the fuel consumption like and how big is the tank?

Hi from Canada! I have a Figaro in Topaz Mist colour. It's parked now for the winter. Can't wait till Spring!

Thanks for uploading, felt like I was riding along with you guys.

"This thing has got the wtf is that thing, factor.." bahahahha classic.

This car is adorable! AND looks totally new, not at all 20 years old. I'm in love with it! Loved the video too, so chill

you guys should do more of these. really enjoyed getting a glimpse of australia. always wanted to go there.

Not cold anymore up here in QLD! Nice warm sunny days, shorts and t-shirt weather. Perfect for cruising with the windows down :D

Gorgeous little car. Can you guys toss one in an envelope and send it to me? :D

Going for tofu in a pastel coloured figaro....

saw one of these in FINLAND and I was proud to be able to tell my friends "that is a Nissan Figaro" without MCM I would have never known about this car

Would be an awesome idea, gives us a few lengthy episodes to watch!

I just watched latest episode of Top Gear, but I had much more fun watching this. Thank you.

That is seriously one of the coolest cars I've ever seen. Wish we had them in the states

Read the description man - this was before the race. The race video is out in a week.

MCM is such quality media. I want more.

i have a black 1963 lincoln continental with the most beautiful white/light blue interior with the best chrome anywhere. it feels like your driving the classiest car in the world when you go cruising!

I actually really liked this kinda chill strait up review type video. very cool :D

Man im in love with this car now!!!!!

Moog's f**kin' obsessed with blinkin tofu =P Lovely little car, cool about the paint going with seasons, I don't think anyone else does that. Can't wait for the race.

The interior looks like a really nice place to be. The dashboard looks like something out of a Bentley. All the chrome really makes it look class. I knew the Turd would beat it, but for cruising around that car is hard to beat... by anything.

That was a cool video guys! It would be interesting if you took all of the go fast bits from the blue turd and made the figaro into a sleeper.

Holy crap this was 9 years ago,I also still remember the day Yous uploaded your first video with the red cuore

Imagine how cool it would be if you guys would do a split screen to allow viewing of the outside and inside of the car. Main screen outside camera and corner screen smaller of you guys talking in the car.

Lol you guys talked bout looking short on the video and talk in person, totally true after seeing you guys at the la meet lol

Awesome. Thanks for the video guys. Curious - how tall are you guys?

Maybe it's cos I live in Sydney that I watch with interest where you are driving, go old pac for a run one time. MOOG ON HIS OWN: Suburb-Lilyfield. Roads- Dolbroyd Parade on to City West Link and cut-off before he hit Anzac Bridge. MOOG with MARTY: Suburbs: Redfern>Waterloo>Erskineville>Newtown. Picked up Marty on Pitt St, right>Redfern St,Left>Regent St, straight>Botany Rd, right>Henderson Rd, straight>Railway Pde, right>Swanson St (past ersko station), straight>erskineville rd, left>wilson st

Changing the badges on a car doesn't mean its suddenly not a Nissan. Otherwise there would be a lot of Holden drivers claiming that their car is a Chevy (Hmm, actually....) This car IS a Nissan, they just didn't put Nissan badges on it except for a tiny one on the front.

it is, theres a video on the main channel uploaded a few days ago

Nissan did put their name on this car if you look very carefully on the figaro badge on the bonnet and on the bottom of the chrome license plate frame on the back

Since I started watching I started to pronounce Nissan like you guys.

For some reason, Marty saying "Dude come for a ride in my Figero" is hilarious to me.

Crazy how modern that interior looks for its age!

Moog said dumped on mad wheels, proper offset, boost controller, and exhaust... DO IT!! that would be sick!

here in the uk id never seen any of the figaros until this video came out, since then ive seen about 7 of them.

Not yet. This was filmed before the weekend and was uploaded after the weekend. We will have to find out!!

These are relatively common around where I live. You see them every so often.

Marty still could have kept the "Blue Turd" , if he made a deal with Moog saying he would keep the Figaro, even though The Figaro lost against The Blue Turd on the track, then Marty could have had 2 maaad nuggety cars and The Blue Turd would have never been crushed!

It's July , left window is down, but Moog has gloves ! MAAAAAAAD ! :))

Check the description, it says the Battle between the blue turd and the figaro will be out in a week. Amazing how many people on RU-vid can't read.

Blue chrome vinyl wrap and tinted windows. Bigger turbo. Coolness.

you guys are so freakin awesome. if chill banging was an Olympic sport you would win gold

Yeah when I met Marty at Auto Saloon few years back made comment on how tall he actually was- He wasn't too Impressed :-(

The whole retro Nissan family from that era (the Figaro, BE-1, Pao, and S-Cargo) is old enough for import to the USA now. I saw all of them in a book I got about concept cars when I was a kid, and thought they were kind of cool. I kind of want to get a Pao or a BE-1... the ones I'm seeing on the trade sites are pretty cheap.

i didnt realise you were australian until "you can fit all ye mates in this car" haha

That's exactly what I wrote, lol. Glad to see somebody else thinks like I do.

Can you guys do a video going through all of the cars you each own? I know we've seen them all already but a video like that would be cool :p

Hi Marty & Moog, great vidz and keep going. You're both awesome.

That's some fine research you got there.

That interior is great looking for its age,

Dawwwwwww, and here I thought Martin didn't like it! :-)

3:08 that truck driver was looking at the car the whole time lol it's a head turner.

It's just as warm during their winter as it is during my summer, FFS.

Living on the east coast of the USA I have never seen on in real life. I just moved up to a new town and on my daily drive home THERE IS A FIGARO IN SOMEONES DRIVEWAY!! I might have to start leaving offers in his mailbox lol

i've never seen such serious sounding people be so funny.

There was a Figaro cameo in Pacific Rim. It was random but then I remembered MCM.

its a cool in its own way i think you guys should do like an old school hot rod look

I really thought the black backpack in the front seat was a person..but it was a backpack and then Moog came in so there was a person in the seat after all

i got the impression form this video that moog just wanders the streets when hes not filming MCM.

the Datsun/Nissan change over happened during the late 70's into the early 80's I believe.

lol winter for you guys is probably as warm as our summer (canada) :D

Another awesome production from the funniest Dudes in OZ ! Hope you team up with Will Ferrell soon & make Movies !

It explained why it wasn't branded by Nissan at 8:25. But really it still is a Nissan, they just didn't want to label it as Nissan and Moog clearly explained this at 8:25.

Nice Triumph at 00:37!!

ive been dying to build a cruiser out of one of these on air and fancy shiny wheels

It IS a Nissan. They even said that there is the name on the front, but it's just really small. They did that, like Moog said, to preserve the 50's look of the car. So it is, in fact, a Nissan.

I'd love to see these guys drive on the right side of the road here in America in a full size dual rear wheel truck, that would be a sight to see.

This makes me think of 'comedians in cars getting coffee'

I watched the video again and realised, but thanks for letting me know mate.

Did you watch the vid? Must have missed the part where they were talking about whether or not it's going to be a good race, so no it hasn't lost (yet).

We are in the middle of winter...

It is branded as a nissan i believe, just not on the outer bodywork, but im almost certain there was a big 'NISSAN' on the rocker

Man you are right, i just finoshed the video and looked at your comment, then i realised it was 13 minutes long. I thought it was like 5-6 minutes.

haha literally all the Cheryl comments crack me up every time!!

I saw one of those wen I went to the Dentist last December. I live in The Netherlands BTW...

Already did the conversion on their show car.

They haven't done the head to head yet! They say that quite clearly in the video.

Fun in the Sun. Thanks from Londres. 8-)

6 foot 5 inch, point is id happily save to buy one of these cars, but i often dont fit in many cars that look cool. if marty is similar to my height im full sold!

i am surprised that there are only 20 in all of australia... once they hit 15 years old there seemed to be pao's, s-cargo's and these figaro's all over the place here in canada. i'm still surprised that you both fit in that car. i'm 6'1" and broad shouldered and i cannot drive a figaro without hanging my right arm out the window because i have nowhere to put it... with the door shut there is literally no space between the seat and the door panel.

Rake loves this

i really like the Figaro, and you guys are awsome, and posted on my birthday! Oh , YEAH!!!! :)

You two should be the guest stars in a reasonably priced car on Top Gear BBC.

4:45 - I was confused why they are all bundled up. Then I realized that its Winter in Australia.

Great vid, I love these cars, makes me want to buy one even more now :)

Moog should get Marty a big silver figaro chain to go along with his figaro car.

Where moog said I have no idea where we are, they were in the australian technology park

what type of Camera did you use in the car? just a go pro is it

Hello. Will a 6’3” driver fit in this car? Is it comfortable?

Strange how it still looks quite modern by today's standards, especially the interior.

marty is in love!!!! so sweet!!!!!

I saw Moog on gilbert rd waiting at the lights castle hill

I'm thinking, why is moog wearing all these winter clothes in the middle of summer? ahhh reverse seasons in Aus, still looks warm though

I like that car it's definitely something that you don't see everyday. But if I'm not mistaken, the challenge said that Moog had to get Marty a Taxed and Mote's Nissan, but technically this isn't a Nissan. It's a Figaro, a Datsun Figaro at best xD

What gopro are you using??? gopro 3 i heard were not good

This car needs old style headlight covers. It makes the car look so cool.
