Used 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante Consumer Reviews
Best of Show
Lets be honest - 200+ horsepower, comfort that rivals BMW and Lexus, plenty of room and looks and handles with the best of them. This is the mature, issueless choice for a vehicle.
Good value for the buck, but buy used.
The 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante is excellent. I have kids and the interior, with a little vacuuming, looks as good as the day I bought it. The ride is Cadillac like, smooth and plush. My only complaint is the depreciation of the vehicle. I lost half the MSRP the first year. It has stayed steady since then though, at least according to www.Edmunds.com.
Cool Design, Poor Build
The 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante looks great - it definitely gets praise for its "coolness factor.: However, the build quality is terrible. Ive previously owned Toyotas so maybe Im used cars being tight and relatively maintenance free. This car has had constant rattles in the interior, the console is made of all cheap plastic materials, at 13,000 miles the front rotors were warped (not covered under warranty), I have three rust spots on the hood (not covered under warranty), there is squeak when turning sharply (dealer cant find), in cold weather the door takes about ten slams to get it to close correctly, and the glove box has somehow sagged, This car is now worth less than half than what I paid (no seriously, in less than two years it depreciated by $16,000).
Worst Car Ever
The 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante was the worst car ever. I bought it to see what everyone was talking about and I have no idea what they were thinking. This car is pathetic. I returned it as soon as possible. I suggest the 2006 BMW 7-Series; that is the car I got once I returned that piece of trash. It has horrible handling, terrible interior comfort, and the outside is hideous. If I were one of these owners I would pay Mitsubishi to take it off my hands.
Great car overall
Leather seats are really soft and comfortable. The car is roomy, even for a big guy like me, very spacious. It's not as fast as I'd like it to be but the looks cover that. The car looks great. I like the light-up dash speedometer thing. Back passenger windows go down all the way. I also like the mirrors attached to doors, something different from other cars. Another thing I like about this car is it does have window frames, it may be a bad thing after a while but I love it. Thing I dont like about it, it's kinda slow at 200hp and back seat doesnt go down. Overall, this is a great car.
