Somebody at Mitsubishi messed up. They made a really great car with lots of bang for the buck. My wifes boss is upset. He bought a Lexus. We test drove it at 5 dealers and pick ours up tonight. Love the VR-X package. Everyone looks twice and says what is that? Then they get in and say wow. Its the secret luxury car, for less than an arm and leg, and it does not look like every car on the Road. We had a tough time finding out baby, but that just means everyone else can drool in jelosy.

The only issue I have had was the heater core went out on me early in the cars lifetime. Repair cost was too high due to labor. Just did a “by pass” to avoid interior leak. Other than that it has been a great car.

2002 Mitsubishi Diamante LS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I purchased a new leftover '02 and paid 21K for it. I have had no problems and get 22 mpg in combination driving. I love the car and it looks better than any Acura/Lexus/Infinity. After all the Acura TL is just a Honda Accord, the Infinity I30 is just a Nissan Maxima and the Lexus ES300 is nothing more than a Toyota Camry. Why pay big money for a slightly fancier version of their run of the mill vehicles. The styling and the smooth ride of the Diamante, plus the fact that everybody and his brother doesn't own one, made the decision to buy easy for me.

I went to the dealer to check out the Eclipse Convertible and was bowled over by the VR-X...all the comfort and quiet of the LS with a little more hp, sport suspension and exhaust. I've never been this comfortable or had this much fun in a car. While there is a 300M or Acura on every corner, you won't see many of these. Super Car!!

Overall I love this car. Like many others though. I too had the transmission problems. Even after the fix. Still not right! The car is so great to look at. Kind of a Beemer front and a Volvo back. But very unique. Drives like a much bigger car with its smooth ride. I am a chauffeur and when I get out of my town car I don't mind jumping into this car!
