1993 Mitsubishi Diamante ES review from North America
"A great investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idle motor trouble, fixed quite cheaply.
Seats have worn slightly.
Trouble with the power steering belt, but was because of age.
High maintenance, again because of its age.
General comments?
Very sharp car.
Has great power for a full sized sedan, and has overdrive as well as power and economy engine settings for maximum performance.
Has some transmission downshifting trouble, but it's because of adaptive shifting, and is an acceptable fault.
Very high tech car for a 1993 model.
I am planning to purchase a 1999 Diamante, based on this experience with the car.
I'd recommend it to anyone who likes large sedan's.
