  Diamante LS, Noise & Vibrations - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Jerry Brocato - October 12 - 4:23 am

  This is a beatiful car but one that is marred with strange noises and vibrations. Ive had the car to the dealer several times to correct the problems only to be told it was "tire noise". I even went out of town and drove the same car. Same problems. I think there is design problems with the car. I have asked that the problems be corrected or give me another car.

  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.

  VR-X Great Car! - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By RobbieHe - January 11 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this car in November after first test driving it back in August. I had two Gallants previously, a 1996 and a 1999, both four cylinder versions. I saw the VR-X off at a distance back in August and knew that I wanted to take a closer look. Its a great looking car! When I first test drove it, I realized that it was simply on a different plane when compared to the Gallants. Its fast, tight, and super cool-looking on the inside.

  This is a great car for the price. Its roomy, has good performance, and looks good. I have over 5K miles and no problems. Lots of standard features leather, 10 way power driver 8 way power passenger seats, a great traction control system, and good brakes (a must have).

  from leasing to owning - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By 187 - July 29 - 2:00 am

  I liked the finanacing, plus there were no options. all was included. that was the hook. then as I drove and owned the car it performed, drove quite well. from 1 to 10 I rate it an 8 or 9 only because there isnt an auto that deserves a 10 im quit satisfied with the Mitsubishi ls 4 dr all leather seats moon roof, 6 cyl a real nice car. I expect to have it a long time, if i were to replace it I would by it again

  Id rather drive this than a Camry... - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By RStudley - June 24 - 10:00 am

  Bought an 02 Diamante ES new for a couple reasons... I owned a 97 Diamante - a good comfortable ride. I also like that I dont see myself coming and going - its sort of a poor mans exclusive ride. I like the power, but fun-to-drive quotient is not high - it wanders like a puppy, and has a bit too much body lean. Even so, it is competent and well behaved (at least in normal driving). The real reason I bought it was price, and unbeatable financing. It also came with a 100K mile warranty, and auto alarm... Summary - not bad if your thing is to get "there" in relative comfort and style.

  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.

  Started out ok - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By bconboy - December 28 - 1:43 am

  In its early years this car was a good car, some maintenance as expected I guess (but pretty pricy for this imported car). But as others have said, once things started going, they went fast. Had to replace alternator, muffler, tires (worn on inside) and I dont know what else in a pretty short amount of time, and now it sometimes wont even start. Ive asked around and no one knows why, we replaced the magnet at the end of the crankshaft, because it had actually blinked out and died on me while driving, but seemed to be only a temporary solution.
