Used 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante Consumer Reviews
Beautiful Car
We bought the car new in 03. Overall this car is so beautiful and rivals BMW and Lexus in my opinion. It's designed beautifully both inside and out and is unique from other luxury sedans. We have had some quality issues however. The brake light in the rear windshield constantly falls and we've taken it to the dealer 5 times. They still haven't fixed it. We have to keep it propped up. Plastics are very cheap looking. The black rubber molding in the passenger side door has had to be replaced in the front seat and the back seat is now having issues too. Also issues with paint chipping and wind noise. Glove box doesn't latch properly and hangs open a bit even when closed.
Best For Value
The looks of this car first got my attention. After a test drive I was hooked. You can't touch the performance or amenities in another car unless you want to shell out another 10 g's. This car truly is Americas best kept automotive secret. I just hope it stays that way so prices will stay as reasonable as they are.
GREAT CAR
The heated leather seats, heated mirrors, 7 CD in dash player and the Platinum white color made the car a must have. After looking at and driving Infinity I35, Acura TL, Honda Accord, Lincoln LS and others the combination of luxury, color, driveability and the cash back made the decision for my wife and me. The best car we ever owned was a 1991 Mitsubishi Mirage that finally had problems at more than 208,000 miles. If this mitsubishi Diamanti LS is half the car of previous 1991 Mitsubishi, we will be very happy.
FUN AND COMFORTABLE
GREAT CAR FOR A TRIP OR AROUND TOWN. HAS PLENTY OF POWER AND IS ONE OF THE QUIETEST CARS WE DROVE, INCLUDING THE AVALON, LINCOLN LS, CAMARY, AND THE PASSAT.CONTRARY TO OTHER REVIEWS, IT DOES HAVE A REAR SEAT PASSTHROUGH AND A SOFT RIDE, JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A TRUE LUXURY CAR.THIS CAR HAS A GREAT STEREO AND AGAIN CONTRARY TO OTHER REVIEWS, THE STEREO IS WELL LIT AND EASY TO USE AT NIGHT AT BASE AND STEERING WHEEL.
Second chance seems good
I was satisfied with my 2001 Diamante LS, but VRX version's tighter suspension and handling make this ride more enjoyable. Interior hasn't changed much, but platinum trim is sharp (except steering wheel is a little cheesy). Getting one without the rear spoiler reduces cheese-factor, also.
