Great car for the money - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By Tonymarsol - October 2 - 10:00 amEngine, Transmission very smooth. Rides very nice and quiet. Handles well. Comfortable car all around on long trips. Like the sterio and moonroof. Should have brighter dash lighting.

Diamante - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By Tribefire - August 3 - 11:23 amThe Mitsubishi Diamante Vr-X is a fun fast ride but since I purchased it I have had to put a lot of money into it... the heater core went around 75k, and its conveniently place on the firewall so the job itself is a nightmare, I havent met a Diamante driver past 80k who didnt have to do the same, now Im having trouble with the 02 sensors, I replaced 3 last year and this year the fourth went. Id say the car would be worth it if it didnt cost so much to maintain. About 1500$ for the heater core repair and about the same for the o2 sensor work.

Totally underestimated - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By elittlej - November 27 - 10:00 amI bought my first Dimante in 1993. I did not realize how wonderful of a car it was until I have gone through a 96 Jag XJ6 and 98 Cadillac Seville. Ultimately, it was the best car I have ever owned. Therefore, I am back at the helm of 2002. For the money, you cant beat the equipment. The style, handling and standard features match those of much more expensive cars. In the state of the economy, I am definately for getting the most for my money. I would recommend a test drive.

100,000 Miles 2002 Diamante LS - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By MN - December 16 - 12:06 pmI have owned my LS for just over 4 years now and have just under 100,000 miles on it having purchased it used with 17k miles. I test drove a variety of vehicles at the time within my price range and options requirements. Nothing else came close to the value of this car. Pblms at 100k miles: 1. One door speaker needs to be replaced 2. Antenna no longer retracts. 3. Roof Liner in back has started to droop Minor issues, but lead to a problem; replacement parts are hard to come by due to the rarity of the car. Mechanically its been a rock. Zero Dollars past scheduled maintenance so far. I am still in love with this car 4 years later.

Owner - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By Mangham - June 18 - 12:46 amThis car is an excellent value. Too bad they quit making it. It has been extremely reliable. I have spend virtually nothing on maintenance after 60 months. The USA could learn something from this car designed in Japan and built by the our Australian friends. QMI used with this vehicle since new. At speeds of 70-75 mph I have been averaging 27 mpg.

Could be a great car! - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By Sicilian - December 8 - 10:00 amThe Diamante is a good car and could be a great car. A lot of noises from the rear suspension, old fashioned door design (no door frame) makes wind noise, low seating position, and most of all TERRIBLE RESALE VALUE!! This was a $28,000 plus car, barely worth half of the MSRP. Compare resale value to that of a Toyota Avalon or Nissan Maxima. Dont buy this car unless you want to keep it until the whels fall off. Mitubishi needs to either fix this car and eliminate on its poor image or PULL THE PLUG ! ! Barrcuda

Watch Out for the Heater Core! - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By justin - September 5 - 3:23 amI LOVE this car. It has great style and great reliability - except for the infamous heater core that Mitsubishi refuses to recall. Make sure there is no syrup smell to the Diamante you are looking to purchase.

Great Car, but - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By fmad - August 10 - 4:36 pmI had the chance to own this car for five months before it was wrecked. I was pleased. The LS series is extremely comfortable, three people easily fit in the back, and I receive nothing but compliments on the car. Standard, the car comes with eight premium speakers, which deliver great sound. The body looks stylish and the front has a downward curve that makes the car unique. In the winter on a cold start, the car would make an awful clicking noise that could be heard 1/2 a block away. I hear this also happens to the same year Galants. The noise does die out once it gets heated up. Even after new breaks and pads I couldnt help to hear an awful clutch when breaking normally. This didnt happen all the time.

They are on to something here... - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
By ColoTracy - March 27 - 10:00 amI have always loved the look of this car and I really fell in love with the 0% financing. This car is right on the edge of being something really special with a few minor refinements. Overall, the car is a solid contender in the introductory luxury car market. With a some engineering and design checnges in the future it could rule its class!!!
