1995 Mitsubishi Diamante LS review from North America

Not much has gone wrong with the car. Just standard maintenance. The gasket around the moon roof came loose. I was able to fix it myself. The stereo stopped working and I had to have the head unit replaced. I took it to the local stereo store rather than the dealer, who I avoid whenever possible. The radio power antenna has had to be replaced as it gets iced up in winter and the gears in the power motor get stripped.

I find this car enigmatic. There are things about it I like a lot. As an LS model, the car is very luxurious. I like the full power lumbar seats, the leather interior, and the classy clock in the middle of the dash. The stereo is excellent as well, although I'd prefer a single CD in the dash to a changer in the trunk. To improve this car I would have had a pass-through from the trunk for long items. I would also have had an extra power outlet for accessories so you don't have to have the ashtray open all the time. I also do not like the placement of the cup holders, they are mounted too high on the dash. I bought this car from a dealer, it had just come off a four year lease - with only 16,000 miles on it. With snow tires on the front wheels it is an excellent winter car, which is what I now use it for. I drive a Pontiac Trans Am in the summer and I enjoy the transition to a classier car in the winter!
