1997 Fiat Ulysse Base review from UK and Ireland
"Good idea, economic to buy, great for the kids"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Little switches acting up, the odd fascia cover.
General comments?
Good design of car.
Sliding doors are excellent, front doors open wide.
Bench seat in the back is great- our car has two seats in front, two on the outside in the middle and the bench at the back, giving a good center isle with great access to the back. Even Mum can get up while Dad is stuck in traffic and walk down the center of the car, not stepping outside into the rain.
Much cheaper to buy secondhand than Seat or equivalent competition- mad price as new!
€60 of diesel does 600 miles.
Engine size is 1906 cc or so, so it is taxed as a 2.0 litre and has the power of a 1.9- not so clever, Fiat.
Still, it pulls the caravan no problem (although my previous Laguna would do so much more easily) plus all the bodies.
Luggage space? it's in the caravan.
