A very nice vehicle, especially when figuring in the value. Priced well below its competitors. LS loaded with features. Great engine. Interior ergonomics are comical. Surprisingly little thought put into switchology. Can't see speedo behind wheel. I just can't get comfortable in this car, as nice as it appears. Poor city mileage. Troublesome brakes. Have redone front brakes twice in 20,000 miles. Mitsubishi is famous for warping the rotors. Much preferred the previous grille to the current one.

Great Car

After owning several cars over my lifetime I can say this is definitely the best so far. The car is very reliable, inexpensive to own, gets great mileage (20-24 city and 32-38 highway depending on my lead foot). The engine has a lot of power if you need it to. Taking turns sharp will automatically throttle the engine to keep you from losing control (did I mention my lead foot?). Interior comfort has really spoiled me on other cars. I have recently car shopped with a friend and wasn't happy with the interiors of newer cars in comparison. My only complaint is the leather is Black. In Texas, that makes for hot summers but the comfort makes up for it.

A great all round car

This is my Third Diamante just love them I've had this one lowered 50 mm [2 inches] the standard rims replaced with 18 inch mags and low profile tires. WOW she looks so smart makes her just that little bit different than other Diamantes The car is a wee bit heavy on gas around town but I get great highway miles in absolute comfort good dash features and a good quality CD player stereo etc the one fault would be a little too much road noise above 50 mph the car has awesome mid range acceleration and is confident and sure on the road a good car for the family or put it in the "sport mode" and become 18 again WOOF WOOF

Three-time Mitsubishi product owner (Eclipse '91, Expo '94 and Diamante) - all exceptional value for the expectation. Ran the first two into the ground. Bought this used with 16,000 miles, and I have no reason to suspect that this model will not make the grade. Interior has a couple of flaws - seams splitting on back bench and carpet pullaways, and sound system seems to have been challenged by someone's bass setting, but it runs great and keeps up on the highway.

Unexpected

Bought the LS model unexpectedly last Dec, and drove 7,500 miles in 3 1/2 months, mostly mixed city driving. It is fun to drive on interstates at high speeds, I did up to 110 mph on I-15. I never considered buying it but grow to like it more and more. Nice, powerful growl when briskly accelerating, strong a/c and Infinity stereo, interior power equipment, and good day-to-day qualities.

A Good Deal

I bought the Diamante for several reasons. One is the warranty. If you buy after 8-1-04 the second owner gets the balance of the 5 year or 60,000 mile coverage. I also like the way it looks. It has all the features of a more expensive car. I looked at more expensive cars, but to buy them I would have had to go higher mileage, have no warranty, and get someone else's problems.

Diamante VR-X Rocks!

Purchased August 2004. this is my second Diamante and third Mitsubishi. My dealer is 100 miles away. I only return there because of the free scheduled maintenance. Otherwise this car has been trouble free. That's how reliable these cars are. I did have to replace the driver window switch which is under warranty.

Good Overall Car

The Mitsubishi Diamante has great acceleration, but it doesn't handle curves all that well. I also wish that it would have a temperature guage for the outside. The comfort level inside is superb. I can never go back to cloth, and manual seats again. This car has spoiled me without being too pricey.

Great Value

I love the new look for the 2004 Diamante. It is the same great car with a little more style! The only down side, at over 50 mph the wind noise is annoying.

The 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante LS is an excellent car. It is great to drive and handles well. It's too bad they discontinued the model. The interior is excellent and the eight speaker Infinity system sounds great. I love it.

I bought my Mitsubishi Diamante LS a year ago and have 22,000 miles on it. I have not had any trouble with it. I love the car, it's really ashame that Mitsubishi is no longer making them. I would have loved to have gotten another in a few years.

For 26000 this car delivers excellent value. This is the second LS I have owned in a row and it delivers trouble free performance. I experienced no mechanical or upkeep issues at all on my 2001 LS which had 82000 miles when I traded it for my new 2004.

Ive had people tell me they own a Mercedes and it isnt as comfortable as my Diamante. I have different passengers frequently in my car and everyone ask what make is this car When I tell them its a mitsubishi built in Australia, they are very surprised at the ride and luxury appointments this car has to offer ,and much less than they imagined. This is my 4th mitsubishi, all from the same dealer.Very happy,service is exellent.

This is the second LS I have had. The car just plain delivers. BMW comfort, performance and quality at bargin prices. Only draw back is poor blue book for some reason. In any case dealer made my trade in work with incentives etc. I love the car.

I purchased a new VRX in Dec 03. I love the power and performance. On the down side, this car has been back in the shop 9 times for repairs in six months. Once for lights, four times for brakes and three times to adjust the window on the drives side. (Door would not shut) Three times to repair the lumbar in drivers side seat. Other than constantly having to return to the dealership(which is 30 miles away) for what they call minor repairs and adjustments, I love this car. Very powerful and an incredible drive.

So far, this car is great. I just bought it yesterday, and when I took it out for a spin late last night, I noticed quite a few heads turning to take a second look. Mitsubishi offered such a great incentive to buy, I couldn't resist, not to mention The awesome warranty!

Looking towards an SUV...

This car is nice and fun but it looks like a Buick skylark in the front to me and it makes it look dated in design I feel! I like the options available on this car, but the front end just doesn't have the look of the newer sedans, however it does now on the 2004 model. I am leaning towards a SUV for perfomance, space, and options. The SUV seems to be the new phase in luxury! This cars is just a just car to me, I guess I am not as impressed with it as I thought I would be at first. And there isn't that many on the road! You never see them. What is up with that?

I once owned a Mercedes, Nissan Maxima and Cadillac. None of these cars have the performance of my Diamante. From the time I pull out of the driveway, I can't wait to get it on the freeway.
