1994 Mitsubishi Diamante ES 4dr Sedan
The car was purchased as a program car 12 months old with 20k. The car chews up brakes and needs to be re-padded ever 30-35k. Other than that there have been no problems in nearly 140k miles. The engine runs at a high temp (normal) and as such you need to change the oil religiously to prevent a buildup. This is an exceptionally engineered car. we ar beginning to get a nominal hesitation in shifting out of first gear when cold (138.5k miles). Not significant. We got 65k miles out of our first two sets of tires. Both changes were done not because we were low on tred, but for an opportunistic sale at Pepboys. We could have gone another 10k+ both times.
Performance and smooth ride. Especially at highway speeds. This has been a no problem car...
Not an easy car for do-it-yourselfers... Disl brakes on the front could be larger to reduce wear? Front could use brake dust shields. Great car...
