1997 Mitsubishi Diamante SEI review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great car for driving comfort at an affordable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car shudders at irregular times, and at various speeds.
I returned the car to the dealers twice for inspection.
It appears that the shudder emanates from the automatic transmission.
I am told it has been repaired.
General comments?
I like the style of the car and enjoy the "bells and whistles".
Like my previous V3000 SE, hugs the road well and is a smooth rider.
Without too much effort the 3.5 motor does bring a smile to the face if you decide to push it down the highway.
I enjoy the factory standard stereo system which includes a 10 CD stacker.
