  Diamante with performance - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By KCOBABE - February 10 - 2:00 am

  This car is great. The main thing I love is it has more HP than most of the muscle cars and 2 door sport cars you see on the road. Main thing it could have is RWD or 4WD. The front wheels spin to easy and when you are trying to get the car to go in the rain, here in the desert, it can be a problem. The looks a great. Gas milage is fine for what the cars compression is. You cant ask for high gas milage when you have a car like this. The only problem you will have is if you try to use Regular Unleaded instead of Premium.

  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).

  Great Car - 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By TexasJoe - January 14 - 5:43 am

  After owning several cars over my lifetime I can say this is definitely the best so far. The car is very reliable, inexpensive to own, gets great mileage (20-24 city and 32-38 highway depending on my lead foot). The engine has a lot of power if you need it to. Taking turns sharp will automatically throttle the engine to keep you from losing control (did I mention my lead foot?). Interior comfort has really spoiled me on other cars. I have recently car shopped with a friend and wasnt happy with the interiors of newer cars in comparison. My only complaint is the leather is Black. In Texas, that makes for hot summers but the comfort makes up for it.

  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.

  Great car - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Myfirstreview - August 23 - 10:46 pm

  This car was purchased in 2003, It now has 140,000 miles on it. After about 130,000k, it started to burn a little oil at high rpms, guess this is kinda my fault for always driving like a maniac and always in a hurry.. Anyways, now, if i keep it at low rpms the engine is fine, I havent had any problems with the transmission, heater and a/c works great.. Has been in two wrecks and this car holds up really well, regular maintenance and good driving habits this car will last a LONG time.. I mean, nothing is broken, it all works fine, and is what, 8 years old with 140k miles on it, great buy!

  Japanese BMW!! - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Tim Zdrale - August 23 - 2:00 am

  I am very happy with my 2002 Diamante LS! I consider this automobile to be a real bargain!! The car looks good, rides well and is quality made! A good combo Japanese design and Austrailian built! I plan to keep the car so resale is not an issue and it is a keeper! I have every option I could want in a car! Japanese BMW? You better believe it!

  The transmission shifts hard in this car. The rear seats have no room for comfort.

  One of the best cars Ive owned - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Don - July 10 - 1:30 pm

  The 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante has unexpected, powerful, and quick acceleration. It has smooth and very comfortable road performance after I changed to better touring tires. You need to use only the best windsheild wiper blades otherwise they are noisy. The specs require plus fuel, but I alternate with regular without any noticeable mileage or performance difference. The fuel indicator shows close to empty when there is still more than a hundred miles left in the 19 gallon tank. I average 22 mpg in the city. It has a good stereo with controls on the steering wheel. I dont understand why professional car reviewers do not rate this car higher.

  Diamante - 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By york gresser - June 19 - 1:46 am

  My 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante VR-X has been an excellent vehicle. I have had no reliability problems with it whatsover. Ive only had to change the oil. My only complaint is that it could have more leg room for tall drivers (I am 6 ft 3 in.).
