  buyer beware - 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By figgins - March 21 - 10:00 am

  I purchased a new VRX in Dec 03. I love the power and performance. On the down side, this car has been back in the shop 9 times for repairs in six months. Once for lights, four times for brakes and three times to adjust the window on the drives side. (Door would not shut) Three times to repair the lumbar in drivers side seat. Other than constantly having to return to the dealership(which is 30 miles away) for what they call minor repairs and adjustments, I love this car. Very powerful and an incredible drive.

  Honest Reality - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By DrieOlo - February 16 - 10:00 am

  Ive had to replace the transmission and the passenger side window. The sunroof also has occassional difficulties opening but will eventually open if you play with it long enough. But its an overall good car/ powerful car.

  Good Overall Car - 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Toya - January 16 - 3:43 pm

  The Mitsubishi Diamante has great acceleration, but it doesnt handle curves all that well. I also wish that it would have a temperature guage for the outside. The comfort level inside is superb. I can never go back to cloth, and manual seats again. This car has spoiled me without being too pricey.

  Luxury Buy at Great Price - 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By MR. ED - January 11 - 8:06 am

  The 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante LS is an excellent car. It is great to drive and handles well. Its too bad they discontinued the model. The interior is excellent and the eight speaker Infinity system sounds great. I love it.

  Messed Up Good. - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Rob Peter - January 3 - 10:00 am

  Somebody at Mitsubishi messed up. They made a really great car with lots of bang for the buck. My wifes boss is upset. He bought a Lexus. We test drove it at 5 dealers and pick ours up tonight. Love the VR-X package. Everyone looks twice and says what is that? Then they get in and say wow. Its the secret luxury car, for less than an arm and leg, and it does not look like every car on the Road. We had a tough time finding out baby, but that just means everyone else can drool in jelosy.

  Excellent Value - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By jrbruner - December 23 - 9:26 pm

  I love this car. I read all the reviews before I bought this car, and the power train was highly rated. This car is quiet, comfortable, powerful and reliable. I have the LS with the heated, 8-way power seats w/power lumbar and love it. This car was virtually unchanged from 98 until last year, 2004. The engine is smooth, and responsive and I get much better mileage than edmunds says. I measured 30 mpg highway in SoCal. Transmission failed at 75k (apparently common). Had it fixed by the pros at SoCal Transmission in San Diego and not a lick of trouble since. Heater core is recurrent problem w/these cars. These sell for much less than comp. Acura CL or 3.2 TL.

  Horrible resale...Not a luxury sedan - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By msb507 - November 23 - 2:00 am

  The car looks great and we get many compliments. However, no autodimming rear view mirror, no compass, ac/heat console is cheesy. Tire wear is bad...Had to replace after 30k miles. Road noise is not what I expected from a so-called luxery sedan. Worst of all, the resale value is horrible. A $28,000 car should not be worth $12,000 after 3 yrs.

  Mourning my loss - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Steven Cain - October 12 - 2:00 am

  I purchased a 2002 LS on Ebay on 11-17- 03 and got a heck of a deal, still under warranty. Totaled the car in 02- 04. Did not own the car long enough to give a good evaluation of it. Tremendous praise for the car in the crash. I put the nose of the car into a 97 Ford Mustangs door who failed to yield right of way ( ran a stop sign ) at 60 MPH and punted the Mustang some 150 Ft like a football. From the "A" pillars back there was "NO" damage. The only damage inside the cabin was the airbags deployed. The car held together well for such a violent impact!
