What a Car
This is my first non-Ford car I have ever owned. I drive 182 miles every day to and from work. I was in an Accident 3 months after getting The Diamante. I T-Boned an 2002 Toyota Camry at 55 MPH. I came out of it without a scratch, and there was no frame damage to the vehicle. The Camry was totalled. I would say i am very pleased with the Diamante.
2003 Mitsubishi Diamante VR-X
My 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante VR-X has been outstanding in every category. I immediately put on aftermarket wheels and tires. Along with the optional VR-X package, I have one of the best looking and running cars on the road. The Infinity stereo system is awesome with an amp. There are several ways to improve the engine performance in this car. Just do a little homework. It is really a shame that Mitsubishi discontinued the Diamante. What does that say about them when they discontinue their flagship model in search of something geared toward the younger buyer. I am a proud owner and will keep my Diamante for a very long time. I plan to enter it in some car shows since it will be in a class by itself. It is a 10 out of 10 in my book.
One of the best cars I've owned
The 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante has unexpected, powerful, and quick acceleration. It has smooth and very comfortable road performance after I changed to better touring tires. You need to use only the best windsheild wiper blades otherwise they are noisy. The specs require plus fuel, but I alternate with regular without any noticeable mileage or performance difference. The fuel indicator shows close to empty when there is still more than a hundred miles left in the 19 gallon tank. I average 22 mpg in the city. It has a good stereo with controls on the steering wheel. I don't understand why professional car reviewers do not rate this car higher.
VR-X
I had a Cadillac Catera Sport previously and the VR-X is a better vehicle. The engine is smooth and powerful and it handles great for a front drive. No body roll on curves but still has good ride. Only complaint, I think the steering is a little too light.
