Good except the brakes
Overall it's been a great car that hasn't let us down. Some weak point on the car is its oil consumption with age and the life of the brakes before they "wobble". Both items are known in the Diamante community and there are ways to combat them, but they are out there as issues. Otherwise, pretty good car for the price.
good old Diamante
Bought car with 14K dealer demo miles and owned it through 100K. Love this car! very BMW-ish styling with great reliability. Upgraded to 16" alloy wheels and good tires -good move for handling and less brake fade/wobble. Door locks got a little funny(mind of their own)probably due to worn D.door switch. Highly recommend this car!
Beware the gadgetry
This was a great car to drive when I first got it, but soon thereafter things began to fall apart. Be careful when you have to replace the struts. They run approximately $1000 apiece not to mention replacing the compressor for the air ride system. Speaking with mechanics who have fixed my car, they have mentioned similar problems with other Diamantes including problems with the transmission, air compressed struts, air conditioning. I can't wait to finally get rid of the car. I am convinced that Diamante means "headache" in Japanese.
1993 Diamante
Overall this is not a bad car. However, the paint doesn't last, the seats are coming apart at the seams, and the automatic transmission is real troublesome. Also, this has to be one of the least aerodynamic cars I have ever driven - it gets about 18 mpg around town and about 20 on the highway.
Poor gas mileage
Please don't buy this car if you have options. Very bad on gas plus it needs expensive repair every now and then.
