1991 Mitsubishi Diamante SE review from Australia and New Zealand
"A high maintenance luxury bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Traction control problems which are apparently caused by water in the ABS pump.
No other major hassles but the suspension seems to be wearing out prematurely (noisy shocks and sway bar).
General comments?
Comfortable car but not very fuel efficient, my old Peugeot was a 2.2L, running on higher octane and it does not seem to have been any more expensive.
A good car when going well and very nice to ride in, but pity help you when they break.
