  Fantastic Automobile! - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By KentS - January 21 - 10:00 am

  I went to the dealer to check out the Eclipse Convertible and was bowled over by the VR-X...all the comfort and quiet of the LS with a little more hp, sport suspension and exhaust. Ive never been this comfortable or had this much fun in a car. While there is a 300M or Acura on every corner, you wont see many of these. Super Car!!

  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.

  Big Mistake - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By never again - September 30 - 2:36 am

  Worst mistake I made, uncomfortable ride, too much road noise, just generally unhappy with the car. Didnt want to be upside down on a trade, so I kept it. Lots of little annoying problems, that I was not used to dealing with in other cars purchase. Due to road noise would rent a car if going over 100 miles. Just bought 2010 Acura. Ill never go back.

  Buy One! - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Diamante - September 16 - 2:00 am

  I purchased a new leftover 02 and paid 21K for it. I have had no problems and get 22 mpg in combination driving. I love the car and it looks better than any Acura/Lexus/Infinity. After all the Acura TL is just a Honda Accord, the Infinity I30 is just a Nissan Maxima and the Lexus ES300 is nothing more than a Toyota Camry. Why pay big money for a slightly fancier version of their run of the mill vehicles. The styling and the smooth ride of the Diamante, plus the fact that everybody and his brother doesnt own one, made the decision to buy easy for me.

  Vroom with a VRX - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Frank S. - August 16 - 3:50 am

  This car has been a dream. Lots of power when you need it and a nice sporty feel and sound. Speaking of sound the audio/radio is a great system. There has been no mechanical issues other than oil, brakes and tires. The tires on mine have only about 2,000 miles on them and they are top quality. I had automatic start installed which is nice in bad weather. We no longer need another vehicle so Im parting with it.

  i love it - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By john - August 14 - 4:00 am

  First I felt love by the look, but soon Ive realized its performance. I wish we could buy this car in Europe. One of the best looking car I have ever seen. More luxurious than the price tag would tell you.

  jbs diamante - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By JB6528 - July 21 - 2:00 am

  good mpg, averaging 25 highway burning reg. gas w/o any negative results. emerengy brake handle is a very poor placement. on extended trips with cruise control the handle placement is always in the way of my right leg placement. repositioning it inward just an inch or so would correct problem. i am learning that re-sale value is poor. msrp was $29700 and wholesale value (acv) one year later is about $17000. most people who see and ride in this car like it but i am not sure i would purchase another diamante.

  Love The Diamante LS - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By Old 27 Lancer - March 10 - 2:00 am

  Ive driven the Diamante LS over 33,000 miles in 10 months. The only negative feature has been the junk Goodyear GA tires now through the second set. Cruise at 80-90 with no problems. Speeds over 110 are dangerous with air lift under the cars fully enclosed chasis plate creating a wobble. Comfort is good; panic stopping has been a life saver. Id buy another one. The plan is to accumulate 200,000 miles on this car for business; I think it can do it with no problem.

  No Buyers Remorse Here - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
  By YRFox - January 21 - 2:00 am

  I have now had this car about seven months and it is everything that I thought it would be. Very comfortable, huge trunk(almost as much storage space as I had with my Volvo and Subaru Station Wagons before buying this), great stereo, very responsive engine and good handling. I looked at Lexus and Infiniti too but decided to get the Diamonte and I am still comfortable with my decision.
