1994 Mitsubishi Diamante LS review from North America
"A nice car for the money, but be prepared for its flaws"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has burned oil and smoked since the day I bought it. This is common to Diamantes of this body style.
The power antenna broke at 140,00 miles.
I replaced the stop light switch when I bought the car (The brake lights did not work).
The electrical devices act up sometimes, such as the radio occasionally turning off while a window is being rolled up.
General comments?
Nice car for the money, but choose carefully and be ready to handle to the maintenance that comes along with it, and the likelihood that it will start to smoke some time after 100K. Comfortable and amply quick, a nice road car, but not too great on gas, and it doesn't improve much on the highway. Expensive looking interior, and most interior parts have held up very well.
