Great Car
I just purchased a new 2002 Diamante. My wife has a 1994 Diamante also. I love both cars. Build quality is excellent, I agree that the transmission should be a bit more responsive (my previous car was a 2000 Pontiac GranPrix GT - GM's tranny's just have no equal when it comes to response) but at the same time this is not a performance sedan, its a luxury car. MPG should be a bit better, 21-29 should be the norm in this class. My GP averaged 23 mpg with a bigger engine and heavier car.
Fun Car
Fun to drive, good acceleration and handling in curves. Seats are comfortable on trips and memory is nice. No significant problems since purchased used. A little noisy due to wind noise, good sound system.
Near-luxury
I've had many Mitsubishi products, from Eclipse Spider to Galant; I thought I'd step up to their idea of a luxury auto. Overall, I have not been disappointed, but there are some small things that would have gone a long way to filling in my ideal of a true luxury vehicle.
why such low reasle value in these cars?
Yes, the wind noise in this car exists- does that mean it leaks when it rains? I have a 1994 wagon which I also love- I do not like the seat eating papers habit of the sedan. MY car beats most others! Was considering Avalon or Volvo along with this one. Think I should've gotten a Toyota with better resale. Would love to have a hood ornament. There is nice acceleration here...and a stable ride at 120 MPH. Back seat headroom for my son (at 6'4")is lacking
Horrible resale...Not a luxury sedan
The car looks great and we get many compliments. However, no autodimming rear view mirror, no compass, ac/heat console is cheesy. Tire wear is bad...Had to replace after 30k miles. Road noise is not what I expected from a so-called luxery sedan. Worst of all, the resale value is horrible. A $28,000 car should not be worth $12,000 after 3 yrs.
