Used 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante VR-X 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Fun ... and a looker too!
I've been asked about this car at a gas station by strangers. The VR-X appearance package is outstanding! It handles like it's on rails. I give it the highest score for it's uniqueness - cache, if you will. How many VR-Xs do you see on the street? About 1 for every 1000 Maximas, Altimas, and other similar vehicles. I love it! Mustang owners look twice... (what is it?! and can I take it?!)
A Great Car often Overlooked
This is a great car for the price. Its roomy, has good performance, and looks good. I have over 5K miles and no problems. Lots of standard features leather, 10 way power driver 8 way power passenger seats, a great traction control system, and good brakes (a must have).

A car with cachet!
It's been one month now and I'm more pleased than with any other new car purchase I've had. This car gets the looks - I've even been approached at a gas station and asked abou it. Sure, it doesn't have the horsepower of the top Maxima or Accord but the spunky torque takes you from nothing to something quickly enough. If you're undecided, here's a test - count the number of Camrys, Maximas, Accords, and Altimas you see in a day. Then count how many Diamante VR-Xs you see. That's the cachet you can't put a price on.
Just OK but the transmission stinks
The styling is not bad. It has a descent amount of amenities for the price. The big seller for me was the 6 year 0% interest financing. That equals an unbeatable value. It has a roomy passenger compartment and plenty of leg room in the back seat. The memory seat function is flawed. It erases itself regularly. Alao, it has no home link for garage remote. The heated mirrors are poor. The worst feature must be the transmission. I have had in in the shop several times for the transmission. It has shift "flairs". It feels like it slips. I have had the clutches replaced, the valve body and ports replaced but the problem persists. Not 100% of the time but maybe 40-50%. It is very annoying and for this reason alone, I cannot wait to sell it.
VR-X Great Car!
I purchased this car in November after first test driving it back in August. I had two Gallants previously, a 1996 and a 1999, both four cylinder versions. I saw the VR-X off at a distance back in August and knew that I wanted to take a closer look. It's a great looking car! When I first test drove it, I realized that it was simply on a different plane when compared to the Gallants. It's fast, tight, and super cool-looking on the inside.
