2001 Mitsubishi Diamante LX review from North America
"Won't buy another Mitsubishi"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first problem I had with my 02 Diamante was the brakes. They seem to wear pretty fast.
At 40,000 I had the well known heater core problem.
I have had a rattling noise up in the headliner since about 20k. I took it to the dealer and they fixed it, but it came back at around 36k.
Antenna problem is common, so I will fix mine also..
Now I'm getting ready to change my timing belt at 64k just to be safe.
The leather doesn't wear very well either.
I've also found it hard to find a repair manual. I rate the overall car poor!!
