Great comfort and reliability
This car has been used everyday and we have never had a problem with it, other than having to replace a part of the air conditioning. The ride is great and the comfort of the seats are the best I have had. It has great acceleration and power. The sound is great. I was in one accident and the car held-up great.
Great Car
I have enjoyed my vehicle over the past 5 years. The resale and trade-in are really low though compared to other cars like it.
Nice but not reliable
This car has been fun the first 15K miles, but it has been in the shop for 19 different problems, and after the warranty expired the costs of keeping it are very high. In the last few months I spent about $500/mo on repairs and some maintenance. As much as I like my Mitsu, I am ready to trade it in for a new car. It is a shame, because the car has only 50K miles and looks great. I maintained it well, did all the required services, but I can keep up with the costs of repairs. The biggest problems I have: ABS breaks, AC system, suspension. I had three Mitsubishis since 1989 and had my share of problems but this time I am sure that this is my last Mitsu.
Diamante is quality
I love the comfort and style of the Diamante. I bought a 93 the first time and traded it for a 99. The 93 was better, but still, I have 34,000+ miles at this point and never a service call. The one thing I have doubts about is the comparison of Diamante to Galant. They look the same, just a slight size difference. It bugs me that mine cost twice as much. I might go for the Galant next time. But people very often ask me about this car, even at 3 1/2 years old, because it looks so good! Recently discovered the resale value is much lower than expected, though. Buy one and keep it!!
Poor Man's BMW
How many times have you bought a car that was better than expected? Rides nicely with srong powertrain & performance. Few cars come close to BMW but the Diamante comes close when you consider the price.
