1992 Mitsubishi Diamante review from North America
"Great, problem free"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I don't know what has happened in America, but here in Australia it's known as a Verada, and they are unstoppable. The only thing I have had done a lot is wheel alignments. The transmission is still holding on strong despite hitting a 6500rpm often. The only bad thing about the engine is lag to about 60km/h, but then dispite the feeling of going nowhere you're going 167km/h the next time you look at the speedo. After 1/2 hour around a track at high revs the engine splutters a bit at idle, but when you turn off the engine, and let it rest for four minutes and start it up it sounds perfect at idle, but you can keep on going with out a problem if you wanted. There's nothing wrong with them in Australia as long as you look after them, I service mine at least once every two months, or every time you take it to the track. Mine has over 200,000ks on the clock and blows not one puff of smoke, with the only upgrades being bosk 550cc injectors and a xforce 3inch exhaust system. A great car! =)
