I have just bought a 2nd hand Fiat Ulysse 2.0JTD EL People Carrier and find the car easy to handle and drive, except for the seats and pedals. Lack of adjustment and pedals slightly over to the right make me sit at an angle on long distances. Have yet to experience high service costs or poor dealer service - but will let you know.

I've had my fiat ulysee 2.O EL for seven years and done + 130,000 miles - The engine's great as are the gear ratios - Design-wise it is practical and functional. My car has proved reliable and travelled all over Europe - I much prefer it to the new Model I test drove recently - I'd prefer to buy a new old model than the new 'fall to bits' 'flash' plastic version. The test model had bits missing and a door that would not open - The Fiat dealer recommended a Toyota instead! (The company apparently has a Toyota dealership as well - which might explain this unexpected advice)

I can now report back on the Ulysse after owning one for 1 year, and sadly I have been plagued with problems. The exhaust system (manifold) starting rattling, then the Sat Nav screen went, CD player/Sat Nav main unit was faulty, the drivers front seat adjustment arm broke off completely (hardly used), and then the rear screen washer hose came loose and started squirting water inside the cabin - apparently a common fault.

<br>I am now seriously considering selling this car on, as I have another baby on the way, and I am fed up with spending my time at the showroom getting faults fixed - all under warranty I add.
