Purchased with 79k miles for $7k. Same yr Avalon $15k. Added Bosch Platinum 4 plugs and it changed this car immediately. Has plenty of go, we now average 27 mph hwy on regular gas and Valvoline hi-mileage synthetic oil. Never a problem, looks and positive comments from others. Very comfy on a + 6hr ride in front and back. Leather is sweet and sound system is great. Best buy for the money.

This car has been a blessing for me! Cold A/C and very comfortable to sit in! Just have a few complaints. Fuel economy is terrible, especially in the city, and showing signs of rust and paint is starting to peel on the hood! All and all this car's performance is awesome. Transmission doesn't seem to shift at the right time especially when you punch it right off the line! Using Full Synthetic Motor Oil has increased horsepower greatly and be sure to run only premium fuel in these cars to help get the most out of your gas tank!

I have 137K on mine and all I've had to replace is brakes and tires. (Bridgestone Insignia s-200's are a great replacement for the Goodyears it came with improves ride greatly)Plenty of power and if you use synthetic oil you can get 22mpg in town and better on the hwy. Since switching to synthetic oil it gets 22mpg consistently in town weather I lead foot it or drive like Grandma. This is the perfect blend between sports car and luxury car. Luxury usually sacrifices a bit of style and pep which this has both, and sports cars usually sacrifice smooth ride which this has too.This is the closest thing you can get to a BMW or a Mercedes for 30 grand. Camry and Accord feel cheap by comparison.

nice car but could of did better

Well I bought my Diamante used.. I loved this car when I test drove it. Beware! This car carries a high symbol for insurance rates. This car is 5 years old and has a higher symbol than most brand new cars. Not worth it to insure it . Get insurance quote before u buy. Other than the high insurance and the 19 mpg on highway (which sucks with the price gas today) ---- I'm trading it in. For cheaper insurance and better gas mileage . On the other hand the car has a nice style about it. It runs smooth. Oh and not very good in snow or slush. Parts and labor are more expensive

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 Car Out There!!

I love driving my car! Mine is very fast. I maintain mine and do oil changes religiously so it is still in great shape with 65,000 miles on it. It hasn't spent one day in the garage. I love the appearance, all the options, and the size. I can have my son's car seat in the middle and still have room for adult passengers on both sides of him. I have more room for people and stuff than small SUVs. The trunk space is very generous. All the luxury items without the over-inflated price tag!

The stiff ride improved significantly with the addition of Goodyear Assurance tires. Overall the Diamante is a pretty good value for the money. It is reliable but had little glitches initially and I spend several days at the dealer having noises fixed and things adjusted. I am currently having trouble finding patch paint and misc. parts. I would like more power but it's adequate as is. A recent trip East gave me a low of 22 and high of 29 mpg - overall 26.54 mpg at 70+ mph all the way - I'm pleased. I will probably keep this one for a while as my "work" transportation. Too bad they stopped importing the car.

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.

The 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante looks great - it definitely gets praise for its "coolness factor.: However, the build quality is terrible. I’ve previously owned Toyotas so maybe I’m 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 can’t 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).

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.

I just recently bought my Diamante, actually it is my first luxury car. I found the Diamante to be afforable for what it offers. The gas mileage is a little less than what I had expected and the steering can be improved. In the aspect of accerlation I was pleasantly surprised. I find the car fun to drive but am always asked "Who makes the Daimante?" I do have to admit that I am pleased that the road is not over crowded with them, so they do stand put more and I often catch people galncing over and checking out the car.

I love the way this car handles and the power it has when needed. It still looks better than most cars on the road today. If I had to do it again I would still buy it. The mileage on the hwy is a respectible 22 mpg's...The only downfall is in the city where it drops to about 12 mpg's.

2003 Diamante vs. 1998 Diamante

This is my second Diamante. Also own a 1998. When comparing the 2003 to 1998, Mitsubishi has cheapened up on the interior. Lower quality leather & poorer sounding stereo. Problems with highway driving when tractor trailers are in front of me. The front end tends to shift back and forth as if there are aerodynamics & traction control issues. Electrical system does crazy things. For example, doors lock by themselves. I say, stick with the older models. They are more comfortable and give a better ride. More like what you would expect for a $30,000 car.

There are too many Toyota Camrys, Honda Accords, and Nissan Altimas out there. I wanted something different. Is the 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante cutting edge? No, but it is a solid vehicle that has no weaknesses and it provides a lot of bang for the buck (if you buy used and avoid the depreciation hit.) I have had a lot of success with Mitsubishi products in the past. I am very happy so far with my Diamante ES. The car looks good to me and its engine, drivetrain and handling are very smooth and predictable. I have not experienced any mechanical problems so far after 15,000 miles. The car has an adaptive transmission feature where if you hop on the gas, it downshifts quickly and holds the shift point to a higher rpm. However, if you're gentle on the throttle, it shifts at a lower rpms. This is a great car if you can find one, they didn't make many.

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.

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.

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.

Although, not rated so good by this site, I simply love this car.By the way, this car does have a back seat passthrough and fold back mirrors. The stereo system sounds great and contrary to the editors review, the system is well illuminated and easy to use. Yes, it does not ride or handle like a sports car, but does ride and handle lik a true luxury car. If you want a good soft,smooth, and extremely quiet ride you must test drive the Diamante.

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.

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.

I had not intended to purchase a Diamante until offered one from the dealer. I think, in the luxury sedan class, it is the best kept secret for having all the bells and whistles of much more expensive models like the 5 series BMW or the Lexus 300 series. It also has a great ride, handling, and "kick".

After looking at serveral cars including the Nissan Maxima and Chrysler 300m i finally bought the Mitsubishi Diamante. The Nissan and the Chrysler handled well and were nicely styled but the ride in each was too harsh. The diamante did not handle quite as good but it seemed to stike a better balance between performanc and ride than either of the other two cars. The stereo was better and the car seemed to have a more simple yet classy interior. Overall i love this car and clould not be happier about my choice.
