  • Why did they quit making this car - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    This car replaced a 1997 Diamante. Both are great driving cars. Comfortable ride and tracking, excellent build quality and fuel economy. This car has 120,000 miles now and at about 100,000 miles had to replace heater core. No other maintenance problems. Does not use oil or have any leaks.

  • Great Car With a few Minor design flaws - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante

    Extremely fun car to drive. Plenty of power for those short straightaway passes on secondary roads. I have found that the gas economy is excellent. I average about 25 mpg on the highway. The seats are extremely comfortable and long term driving is virtually effortless.

    I have had this car for six years and plan to keep for six more. It was a great purchase.

  • Real Good Car for the Money - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    I bought my Diamante used it had 33,000 on it, and it was between this one and a Honda Accord, but I love this one cause of all the features styling and overall its an eye catcher. Also it sounds real good. and I have drove Lexus and Caddys and this is far the best one i have owned with low maintance. I did have to have my heater core repalced at 45,000 but warranty took care of it and this is an all around FUN car to drive.

  • Good car for money, BUT... - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    Really liked the car when I purchased it with only 24,000 miles in 2004. By the time it had 40k miles it had the very common heater core leak... by the time it had 50k miles rear/driver side abs speed sensor failed so abs brakes are non-functional since then, neither is the traction control... both ABS and TCL light stay on all the time now. By 55k egr solenoid failed, not too costly to replace if you do it yourself. By 60k miles the rear springs are worn out, with 3 passengers in the rear the rear bottoms out, replaced shocks which didnt help at all. By 80k antenna motor failed. Bottom line, even though I like the car I wouldnt buy a Mitsubishi again, with the other options.

  • Horrible resale...Not a luxury sedan - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    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.

  • My previously owned Diamante - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    So far it has been a very nice automobile, no problems yet. I have read reports about the heater core going out at about fifth thousand miles, so I am hoping that my car will not prove this to be true. The car is about a eight on a scale of one to ten. I love the looks of it, and the performance is good, the gas milage is a little tuff, but concidering the performance with the 210 horses, it is not too bad.

  • Excellent Purchase - 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    I bought my Diamante LS new in Spring of 2001. I have not had a single problem or failure with the car, with the exception of the stock tires. I replaced them at 55k miles with Bridgestone Turanzas and the car handles like a sports car. After 62k miles, the car is still like new - tight and solid.
