  Best For Value - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By m bloom - May 10 - 10:00 am

  The looks of this car first got my attention. After a test drive I was hooked. You cant touch the performance or amenities in another car unless you want to shell out another 10 gs. This car truly is Americas best kept automotive secret. I just hope it stays that way so prices will stay as reasonable as they are.

  Great Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By LELE - April 12 - 12:23 am

  I just purchased a new 2002 Diamante. My wife has a 1994 Diamante also. I love both cars. Build quality is excellent, I agree that the transmission should be a bit more responsive (my previous car was a 2000 Pontiac GranPrix GT - GMs trannys just have no equal when it comes to response) but at the same time this is not a performance sedan, its a luxury car. MPG should be a bit better, 21-29 should be the norm in this class. My GP averaged 23 mpg with a bigger engine and heavier car.

  Great Car for the Price - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By M Schu - February 20 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for almost 3 years, and Ive really enjoyed driving it. It has good power and looks really nice. However, some components arent durable enough - at 42,000 miles the struts are already going bad. Occasionally, it doesnt shift as nicely as Id like. Plus, the rear window trim is peeling off, which looks bad. The resale value goes down quickly after you buy it new, so buy this if you want to keep it for awhile. But once you drive it, I bet youll want to keep it for awhile.

  Satisfied - 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Satisfied - January 31 - 7:56 am

  Three-time Mitsubishi product owner (Eclipse 91, Expo 94 and Diamante) - all exceptional value for the expectation. Ran the first two into the ground. Bought this used with 16,000 miles, and I have no reason to suspect that this model will not make the grade. Interior has a couple of flaws - seams splitting on back bench and carpet pullaways, and sound system seems to have been challenged by someones bass setting, but it runs great and keeps up on the highway.

  screaming bargain - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By elwood - January 9 - 10:00 am

  I am a frugal car nut. I keep a list of cars that I like when new. I watch for the ones that have high reliability ratings and depreciate like a brick. Enter the Diamante. Why no one buys them new? I do not know, and dont care. The result? Two years ago I purchased a 97 w/ only 27K on the clock in mint cond. for only $15,700. Happy motoring since.

  tires and brake life - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By dfarmery - January 2 - 10:00 am

  Bad tire wear. We had the the tires replaced due to road noise after 26,000 miles. The car is in the shop for rotation and balance on a regular schedule. Brakes have problems. The left rear is making a dragging noise. We have had the car in the shop 2 times for brake problems. The car otherwise has been good to us but we are very unhappy with the resale value.

  By Railroadman - December 25 - 2:00 am

  Weve only had this car about a week,so this evaluation is still on-going. My wife and I love the confort and handling of this beautiful automobile. We bought the LS with all the options. Stay tuned for further update as we experience hopefully a Luxury car ride and performance at a reasonable cost.

  100,000 Miles 2002 Diamante LS - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By MN - December 16 - 12:06 pm

  I have owned my LS for just over 4 years now and have just under 100,000 miles on it having purchased it used with 17k miles. I test drove a variety of vehicles at the time within my price range and options requirements. Nothing else came close to the value of this car. Pblms at 100k miles: 1. One door speaker needs to be replaced 2. Antenna no longer retracts. 3. Roof Liner in back has started to droop Minor issues, but lead to a problem; replacement parts are hard to come by due to the rarity of the car. Mechanically its been a rock. Zero Dollars past scheduled maintenance so far. I am still in love with this car 4 years later.

  Best Car Out There!! - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By itty diamante - December 9 - 1:13 pm

  I love driving my car! Mine is very fast. I maintain mine and do oil changes religiously so it is still in great shape with 65,000 miles on it. It hasnt spent one day in the garage. I love the appearance, all the options, and the size. I can have my sons car seat in the middle and still have room for adult passengers on both sides of him. I have more room for people and stuff than small SUVs. The trunk space is very generous. All the luxury items without the over-inflated price tag!
