Diamante with performance

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

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.

tires and brake life

Bad tire wear. We had the the tires replaced due to road noise after 26,000 miles. The car is in the shop for rotation and balance on a regular schedule. Brakes have problems. The left rear is making a dragging noise. We have had the car in the shop 2 times for brake problems. The car otherwise has been good to us but we are very unhappy with the resale value.

So far it has been a very nice automobile, no problems yet. I have read reports about the heater core going out at about fifth thousand miles, so I am hoping that my car will not prove this to be true. The car is about a eight on a scale of one to ten. I love the looks of it, and the performance is good, the gas milage is a little tuff, but concidering the performance with the 210 horses, it is not too bad.

Bought new; black with gray leather. It's still a very handsome car. Goes like the wind; great mid-range response. In almost 60,000 miles, there has been virtually no maintenance. Abnormal tire wear through two sets of Goodyear tires. Mitsubishi said those tires were not designed properly for this car, and they wore rapidly. I replaced them with Toyos, and everything is 100% now.

I really only have had a few problems with my 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante LS. The transmission is slow to react to my lead foot sometimes. I had a Mitsubishi Eclipse with an auto transmision that was much better. Also, tthis car should be rear wheel drive with so much horsepower and torque!

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.

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.
