1993 Mitsubishi Diamante LX review from North America
"A Outstanding performance sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ETACS Computer failed at 80,000 Miles
Air Conditioning Failed at 110,000.
General comments?
It has been an excellent vehicle with very high reliability, handling is very good and with 141K miles it will still cruise in the low 120mph range topping out close to 140.
This car still looks and drives like new.
The build quality is outstanding. No rattles, squeaks or loose trim.
Repair costs have been substantially above normal on the pieces that have failed and on maintenance.
I have absolutely no complaints, the car, while being expensive (37K) when purchased new, the longevity and quality have made this car well worth the investment 10 years later.
