  Diamonte - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By contact - September 15 - 2:00 am

  This is my first sporty car and for the moment I like it. I have a 2002 Lexus 430 for the long trips andse the Diamonte for commuting 20 miles to work over country roads.

  Second chance seems good - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By VM - June 11 - 10:00 am

  I was satisfied with my 2001 Diamante LS, but VRX versions tighter suspension and handling make this ride more enjoyable. Interior hasnt changed much, but platinum trim is sharp (except steering wheel is a little cheesy). Getting one without the rear spoiler reduces cheese-factor, also.

  Love this car - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Dennis Castor - December 20 - 8:30 am

  I love the way this car handles and the power it has when needed. It still looks better than most cars on the road today. If I had to do it again I would still buy it. The mileage on the hwy is a respectible 22 mpgs...The only downfall is in the city where it drops to about 12 mpgs.

  Best Kept Secret - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By bozo - December 20 - 2:00 am

  I had not intended to purchase a Diamante until offered one from the dealer. I think, in the luxury sedan class, it is the best kept secret for having all the bells and whistles of much more expensive models like the 5 series BMW or the Lexus 300 series. It also has a great ride, handling, and "kick".

  Diamante is "Okay" - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Ray - June 22 - 12:40 am

  The stiff ride improved significantly with the addition of Goodyear Assurance tires. Overall the Diamante is a pretty good value for the money. It is reliable but had little glitches initially and I spend several days at the dealer having noises fixed and things adjusted. I am currently having trouble finding patch paint and misc. parts. I would like more power but its adequate as is. A recent trip East gave me a low of 22 and high of 29 mpg - overall 26.54 mpg at 70+ mph all the way - Im pleased. I will probably keep this one for a while as my "work" transportation. Too bad they stopped importing the car.

  Something Different - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Scott - May 2 - 9:40 am

  There are too many Toyota Camrys, Honda Accords, and Nissan Altimas out there. I wanted something different. Is the 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante cutting edge? No, but it is a solid vehicle that has no weaknesses and it provides a lot of bang for the buck (if you buy used and avoid the depreciation hit.) I have had a lot of success with Mitsubishi products in the past. I am very happy so far with my Diamante ES. The car looks good to me and its engine, drivetrain and handling are very smooth and predictable. I have not experienced any mechanical problems so far after 15,000 miles. The car has an adaptive transmission feature where if you hop on the gas, it downshifts quickly and holds the shift point to a higher rpm. However, if youre gentle on the throttle, it shifts at a lower rpms. This is a great car if you can find one, they didnt make many.

  Cool Design, Poor Build - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By MikeD - February 8 - 5:33 am

  The 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante looks great - it definitely gets praise for its "coolness factor.: However, the build quality is terrible. I’ve previously owned Toyotas so maybe I’m used cars being tight and relatively maintenance free. This car has had constant rattles in the interior, the console is made of all cheap plastic materials, at 13,000 miles the front rotors were warped (not covered under warranty), I have three rust spots on the hood (not covered under warranty), there is squeak when turning sharply (dealer can’t find), in cold weather the door takes about ten slams to get it to close correctly, and the glove box has somehow sagged, This car is now worth less than half than what I paid (no seriously, in less than two years it depreciated by $16,000).

  Best kept Secret - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Carolyn - December 13 - 9:20 am

  I just recently bought my Diamante, actually it is my first luxury car. I found the Diamante to be afforable for what it offers. The gas mileage is a little less than what I had expected and the steering can be improved. In the aspect of accerlation I was pleasantly surprised. I find the car fun to drive but am always asked "Who makes the Daimante?" I do have to admit that I am pleased that the road is not over crowded with them, so they do stand put more and I often catch people galncing over and checking out the car.
