1998 Fiat Ulysse TD S review from UK and Ireland
"Good MPV for the family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering has suffered major leakage three times, until modified by non-Fiat dealer.
Clutch cable sleeve crushed, resulting in clutch pedal sticking down. I had to wait almost three months for parts, which turned out not to be needed! (Again, fixed by my usual garage).
Tachometer falls to zero when gas pedal released.
General comments?
The car is a great load carrier, due to the ability to remove different combinations of seats.
Acceleration is not wonderful, but once at speed on a motorway it will cruise effortlessly.
Really good, high driving position, although visibility is sometimes poor behind A pillar.
