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.
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.
My 1993 Diamante wagon also has some transmissions woes!. It recently downshifted from overdrive into 4th gear at 55 MPH. It stayed in 4th gear the rest of the hot summer day, even in stop and go traffic. Was fine the next day, but don't know if this is a normal behavior for these cars. Any advise??
