2002 Mitsubishi Diamante review from Australia and New Zealand
"Awesome vehicle for comfort, style and value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. Usual service intervals. Changed brake pads at last 70KMs service.
General comments?
Very very good car. My previous 'car' was a Fiat Punto Sporting, and yes it fell to pieces within 6 months.
So I flicked the remains, and bought the 02 Diamante on a recommend from a mate - who had one as a company car, and then purchased one after when he left the job as he rated them so highly.
I can see why! We have had BMW before, and I would rate this up there with a 5 series - in size, muscle, comfort, technology and drive.
Very impressive vehicle - I can absolutely guarantee it will get me anywhere fast and in style. Reliable, tough, and quiet - gets me to business meetings with the right look, and also does us for family trips round the bush and hills - woooh!
