Review

I don't know what kind of lemons these other bloggers bought, but I bought my '95 Diamante LS with 42,700 miles on it in 2003. It is stock and is white with a moonroof, leather interior, stock Infinity sound system, the stock tape deck has an audio in port that will work with iPods and has a 6 disc changer in the trunk - stock. An old man must've owned it because it was in pristine condition inside, outside, and mechanically speaking. It currently has 115,000 miles on it and runs like the day it came off the assembly line. No problems. Had to replace the alternator once ($80). POWERFUL, RELIABLE car. AND it looks awesome even still today in 2009 and turns ALL the girls' heads. Can't go wrong

Favorite Features

Favorite features is the 3.0 DOHC Mitsubishi engine which is the same engine the 3000GT has in it. It's clocked for 150 and trust me, IT CAN DO IT. AND they didn't start putting the automatic shutoff in til 1996, so it won't turn the car off if you go over 115mph like they do in any car 96 & up.

Suggested Improvements

I have no suggested improvements. The car is BEAUTIFUL & POWERFUL stock. BUT, it is a Mitsu and they do look beautiful modded up... It IS an import afterall.

Lovely on the outside, but not built well

I really miss my Monte, it was beautiful and I could sleep in it! But it kept messing up consistently. In the 2 years it was running I spent over $5,000. It was smoking out the back, oil was leaking (even after i had it 'fixed'), it ATE gas (filled it about 3 times a week), AC gave out (brand new compressor), the radio needed to have some code put in by a dealership to be turned on. I entered the wrong one twice and had to pay 300 to get some idiotic numbers. Finally while driving down I-95 at Okachobee it started to sputter and never accelerated again. Almost killed me and my friend. Basically it was lovely on the outside, but not built well and cost way too much money to fix anything.

Favorite Features

It was beautiful.

Suggested Improvements

Maybe my mechanic was just ripping me off, but it cost SO MUCH for up keep. it was really just a pretty bucket.

I bought the car with 70,000 miles and had heard it would last into the 200,000's. But I'm at 126,000 and I have had smoke out the back for awhile now. I have to either put in a new engine ($3000+) or get a new car. I did love it while it was good. It was definitely a gem of its time!

Favorite Features

equalizer on stereo, controls on the wheel, and general sturdiness of the car

Suggested Improvements

Better engines for longer life

Review

It has a strong reliable engine. It is the perfect car to just drive around with no real destination. It's the most affordable top of the line luxury sedan. It was used as a rental car due to it's reliability and comfort.

Favorite Features

It has a big trunk for large suit cases and a full size spare tire. The interior comfort is amazing as is the style which looks modern to this day.

Suggested Improvements

It should have better cup holders.

This is my second Diamante. I leased one in 1992 and hated to turn it in. Then I bought this one new in 1995. I have about 140,000 miles on it and only have had minor repairs other than the norm. This car looks great. I will not sell it, but use it as a second car or give it to a college student. What a wonderful car it has been. My interior looks bad now but I will invest in reuphostery, the car is surely worth it!

Favorite Features

The smooth and comfortable ride. It has great power with overdrive.

Suggested Improvements

Give it a leather interior and more sturdy interior features.
