  A lot of car for the money - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By doctor j - May 7 - 10:00 am

  Size is fantastic, larger that the Acura and Lexus in its class, its roomy and confortable inside. Handling is a good cross between a sports and sedan, although the steering could be a tad tighter. Wind noise is minimal, though engine could be quieter while idling. Sound system is fantastic, with 8 speakers and ample power, but design on cd player is plain and lacks pause and mute functions. Trunk is huge and pass through at rear seat is handy. All weather package is great with traction control, fog lamps and heated seats/side mirrors. For an approx price of $31,000 which included taxes and 5 year zero percent financing, this car was a bargain.

  Great Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By MikeinIA - April 19 - 2:00 am

  No complaints with ride/comfort/reliability. I bought the vehicle based on its reliability and styling. It doesnt have features that I would expect on a luxury car. This car doesnt have automatic headlights. Come on, even Chevy Cavaliers have this option!!! It doesnt have an auto dimming rear view mirror. I left my door cracked open and the inside lights stayed on all night and drained the battery. Most new vehicles have an auto shut-off feature if the doors are left open. Great acceleration from a stop, but dont expect much when stepping on the gas once the car is between 20-30 MPH (the transmission wont kick down).

  Diamante is the best car I ever had - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Jack Willington - April 8 - 10:00 am

  Drives so smooth. Its so e-z to take care of. I had a BMW and a Lex. and this car is by far the best over all. For the price you pay, you cannot get a better deal.

  Rough in the Diamante - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Mauricio - March 24 - 8:13 pm

  I bought my Diamante with 77,000 miles for cheap. Its a dream ride. Its quiet, powerful, smooth. But its a heavy car, so the brakes go fast and they are not strong enough for the car. The transmission is not strong enough either. Over a long period and it starts to fail when down shifting. It seems like its a common problem on high mileage Diamantes. A lot of little things have started to go wrong. The AC started failing. The trunk didnt open from inside anymore. The leather seat started ripping, etc. They are excellent cars for a while. The drop in the bucket was the failing distributor at 99,000 miles. After that, I had to sell it. Too bad, they are not easy to find and I miss it.

  Great looking / performing car for the price - 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By farazrehman - March 14 - 7:30 pm

  I purchased my 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante last August for two main reasons, its price and features. I couldnt find a similarly equipped toyota Camry or Honda Accord for my $9,500 budget. A few months later, the heater core O-ring failed and coolant started leaking into the vent system. The fix was costly, about $1,100 but the car has been running without a problem since. The Diamante has lots of power under the hood, the acceleration is good but the transmission gets confused sometimes i.e. downshift may not happen immediately when you need a quick boast. The interior is quiet and its ride quality is somewhere between good and excellent. The Diamante is clearly more biased towards comfort and doesnt handle as well as my previous Mazda Millenia

  Good Car, Resell Value? - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By RLSDia - January 24 - 2:00 am

  Good ride, OK performance, very comfortable with most of the desired luxury items. I have had some problems but the dealership has taken care of everything under warranty.

  Not Bad - 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Not Bad - January 23 - 1:46 pm

  A very nice vehicle, especially when figuring in the value. Priced well below its competitors. LS loaded with features. Great engine. Interior ergonomics are comical. Surprisingly little thought put into switchology. Cant see speedo behind wheel. I just cant get comfortable in this car, as nice as it appears. Poor city mileage. Troublesome brakes. Have redone front brakes twice in 20,000 miles. Mitsubishi is famous for warping the rotors. Much preferred the previous grille to the current one.

  Jurys Still Out - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Mary - December 1 - 12:26 pm

  I thought I would love this car, but so far I have put mucho bucks back in it already. The heater core died first - thank goodness we got the extended warranty. Then one of the auto window stops broke the first time I used it. Our Chevy full size truck and old Explorer got better gas mileage. I thought we would be doing better in that area. The ride is very comfortable, but the wind noise is pretty bad. The sun visors are worthless for short people. I love the trunk size. The defrost is wayyy too slow. The stereo is nice, and cruise works great. There are a lot of cup holders, but they dont hold large sized drinks. If I had it to do again, I think I would keep looking. You win some, you lose some.

  GREAT CAR - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By William Dunn - November 19 - 2:00 am

  The heated leather seats, heated mirrors, 7 CD in dash player and the Platinum white color made the car a must have. After looking at and driving Infinity I35, Acura TL, Honda Accord, Lincoln LS and others the combination of luxury, color, driveability and the cash back made the decision for my wife and me. The best car we ever owned was a 1991 Mitsubishi Mirage that finally had problems at more than 208,000 miles. If this mitsubishi Diamanti LS is half the car of previous 1991 Mitsubishi, we will be very happy.
