2001 Mitsubishi Diamante LS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Really liked the car when I purchased it with only 24,000 miles in 2004. By the time it had 40k miles it had the very common heater core leak... by the time it had 50k miles rear/driver side abs speed sensor failed so abs brakes are non-functional since then, neither is the traction control... both ABS and TCL light stay on all the time now. By 55k egr solenoid failed, not too costly to replace if you do it yourself. By 60k miles the rear springs are worn out, with 3 passengers in the rear the rear bottoms out, replaced shocks which didn't help at all. By 80k antenna motor failed. Bottom line, even though I like the car I wouldn't buy a Mitsubishi again, with the other options.
Expensive to fix

When I first purchased this car it ran great. Currently have about 90,000 miles on it and I am about done throwing money into this thing. I have some of the same complaints as others; wind noise, not a very smooth ride, and most of all expensive to fix repairs. Inside door handle broke, I can only get from the factory they want over $200 for a piece of plastic. Back end has begun to sway. I have had over $600 put into it plus new tires and problem still isn't fixed. Probably going to need new shocks soon, most likely will get rid of it by then.
Disappointing

Very disappointing vehicle. Poor assembly. Average Reliability. Recommend you look at other vehicles.
Purchased new... still a great car!

I purchased a brand new 2001 Diamante LS and have had zero problems with this car. I have driven it everyday (city+highway) and the quality has been simply outstanding... Tires-Oil-Gas only. Mitsubishi built this great car to last many years.

This is my second Mitsubishi Diamante I have owned. My first one a 1992 ran like a champ. After 120,000 miles all I need to replace was tires, brakes and battery. I sold it in 1999 and recently found the buyer still had it and it has 160,000 miles and stil runs like a champ. He told me it was the best used car he'd ever bought. My 2001 Diamante LS is all that I expected. A smooth ride, plenty of horsepower and smooth ride. I have friends with BMW's that kick themselves for not buying a Diamamte. They said the ride is as nice as the BMW's and I paid $10,000 less.
Why did they quit making this car

This car replaced a 1997 Diamante. Both are great driving cars. Comfortable ride and tracking, excellent build quality and fuel economy. This car has 120,000 miles now and at about 100,000 miles had to replace heater core. No other maintenance problems. Does not use oil or have any leaks.

I HAVE OWNED ABOUT 80 DIFFERENT CARS IN MY LIFE, SOME NEW SOME USED. I PURCHASED THIS USED WITH 15000 MILES ON IT. IT IS ONE OF THE FINEST DRIVING AND MOST COMFORTABLE CARS I HAVE OWNED. I HAVE OWNED MB,VOLVO,NISS,EVERY AMERICAN CAR MADE. THE LOOKS AND FEEL OF THIS CAR SURPASSES THEM. FOR THE MONEY YOU CAN'T FIND A BETTER RIDER.
Diamante with performance

This car is great. The main thing I love is it has more HP than most of the muscle cars and 2 door sport cars you see on the road. Main thing it could have is RWD or 4WD. The front wheels spin to easy and when you are trying to get the car to go in the rain, here in the desert, it can be a problem. The looks a great. Gas milage is fine for what the cars compression is. You can't ask for high gas milage when you have a car like this. The only problem you will have is if you try to use Regular Unleaded instead of Premium.

This is the third Diamante I've purchased. I had a '93, '99 and now a 2001. Each model had been a pleasure to own and drive. I believe that this model offers premium features at a very reasonable price. The transmission is flawless, the design eye - catching and the engine is powerful and quiet. The 1.9% financing was a bonus. The interior is very well trimmed with much attention to detail. The sound system is superior and quite easy to use. In summary, this car has all the features that anyone could ask for with a price tag under $30,000.
