  • Still Happy! - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    Except for the quirky little jerk sometimes while the transmission shifts to 2nd gear, this is one of the best cars I have ever owned. No maintenance issues, great gas mileage and an overall reliable vehicle. I purchased it in 2000 with 37,000; Im now at 98,000 miles with years to go.

  • Smooth ride but wont buy again - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    Annoying transmission problems (noticeable jerk at certain speed) every now and then. Driver door wasnt a tight fit, but had it fixed under warranty. No other problems worth mentioning. Still love the car. However, as I mentioned earlier I will not buy this car again.

  • Very nice car - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    Styling, performance and reliability is great. Interior very classy and comfortable. Rivals the Lexus, Acuras and alike in all respects except maybe build quality (although it has been extremely reliable and virtually trouble free). The only negatives might be the somewhat quirky transmission, but I would still buy it again. Very nice for the money.

    i wouldnt buy it brand new. i think its the best used car to buy because of its resale value. i bought mine 97 diamante for 10k [only 50k miles on it]. if you can find a better value than that let me know! i sounds great when you step on it. i do wish it had stronger brakes. i love the transmission it adjusts to drivers driving habits its kind of cool. its one of the best looking cars [like all mitsus]

  • I love my Mitz - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    I am a proud owner of a "Mitz" Mitsubishi Diamante. I love my car its fast, nice inside and out, and its good on gas, I got it used and I have not had any problems with it since. (Thank GOD!) I also just love the color it like a baby blue, also like no other.

  • screaming bargain - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante

    I am a frugal car nut. I keep a list of cars that I like when new. I watch for the ones that have high reliability ratings and depreciate like a brick. Enter the Diamante. Why no one buys them new? I do not know, and dont care. The result? Two years ago I purchased a 97 w/ only 27K on the clock in mint cond. for only $15,700. Happy motoring since.

  • Good experience owning this car - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    I purchased my Diamante in 2000 with 44k. It ran relatively maintenance free until about 2004. Since then have replaced front and rear struts and radiator. Have replaced brakes three times since purchase. Currently have 112k on car. Overall this has been a reliable vehicle with good performance and comfort. I am thinking about replacing this vehicle because of family needs, but I will miss it. I would purchase this car again.

  • Mitsubishi Diamante (Diamond) indeed - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    I bought my Diamante for a steal at $2,500 last November 11, 2007. Its an ES but came with all the optional features (sun roof, leather, CD player, etc.). Ive been driving it since then with normal maintenance and its been just phenomenal. I was weary at first having no clue what I was getting myself into, but after testing the car out I fell in love with it! I wanted a car that wasnt already on the road at mass production like the Honda Accords/Civics or the Toyota Camry/Corolla. I wanted something a bit more speical, thats when I ran into the Mitsubishi Diamante. Ever since Ive bought this car Ive been a happy driver~ Good luck to everyone, I hope this review somewhat helps

  • The one and only, Diamante - 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
    By -

    I love the Diamante, shes my Mitsu~ I live in Seattle, Washington and the weather here is really weird. Sometimes it rains a lot, snow once in a while, and occasionally, itll be sunny. But nonetheless, through it all my Diamante has been amazing. Over 150,000 miles and still running strong! What I like the most from the Diamante is its uniqueness from other cars. Everyone these days is out sporting a Honda Civic/Accord or perhaps, a Toyota Corolla/Camry. Its soo boring! Thats where the Diamante comes in. Diamante brings a new experience to the road that only a selected few may experience. Diamante is smooth and sleek; made for those that enjoy the finer things in life.
