This car is ideal for a comfortable longer ride, while for city driving it may be a little 'rough', the power steering is quite solid.
At the Euro Ncap test, Fiat Ulysse received a maximum of 5 stars for passenger safety.
The standard equipment includes six airbags, an alarm, and some models include electric sliding doors, a large glass sliding roof, air conditioning and navigation.

When all seven seats are in the trunk, it is quite small considering the size of the car, and removing the seat from the car can take a long time, so the seats are quite heavy.

The biggest flaws Fiat Ulysses are bugs with electronics: lifting windows, central locking, instrument panel illumination, electronic door sliding door irregularities.
Likewise on the first models with 2.2 JTD there were problems with the failure of the turbocharger as well as problems with the accumulation of water under the timing belt which caused the belt to skip and crack which can result in the complete destruction of the engine.
