1997 Fiat Ulysse review from UK and Ireland
"Easy to buy and great for family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Little things- loose fittings.
Exhaust inclined to be smoky on acceleration- still, it passed the test.
General comments?
Very comfortable car, especially for passengers.
Able to pull our big caravan (although not a patch on the Laguna)
Bench seat in the back is great compared with individual seats. We have the middle seat out in the middle row so you open the sliding doors, step in and have simple access to the back, even with a child in your arms, out of the rain while you belt them in.
The boot is not very spacious, but there is lots of space around the seats in the body of the car.
The positioning of the gear stick on the dash and the handbrake to the right hand side, plus the gap between the two front seats, means that Mum can walk down to the back of the car even if the car is being driven, e.g. if the back child is getting sick.
Plenty of space.
Sliding doors are great in tight car parks.
