Synergie/806/Ulysse. - David W
After the failure of the PTV to attract, as discussed on a previous thread, I'm now helping a customer look for a proper people carrier (S/H and Diesel). I'm guiding them to a Synergie because of the Citroen connection but what about the "clones"?

Are the Peugeot 806 and Fiat Ulysee exactly the same for image and reliability? I have some ideas on this but would be interested to hear views from owners and car park image watchers!

they are built in the same spanish factory one day one model and so on ,they are all the same, a Lancia agent by me uses the citroen agent for parts.The lancia version in Germany has the most street cred if that counts in a bus

Synergie/806/Ulysse - SEAT Alhambra?? - David Lacey
David

The capable SEAT Alhambra represents good value for money, solidly built using well-proven technology.
I'm not aware of any *major* drawbacks

Personally, I wouldn't touch the Fiat, due to parts availablity & cambelt reliability (Fiat Diesels are the only car we have experienced cambelt failure)

I guess there is little wrong with the 806/Synergie - perhaps I am just a little too biased?

Kind Regards

David

Seat is a possibility but I do like the Citroen.

Diesel people carriers under £10K round here sell themselves...then the dealers get lumbered with all the 100,000+ mile petrol Espasce trade-ins.
