Automobile Magazine: Mitsubishi Diamante
The outgoing Diamante is a likable enough sedan, well-built, nicely equipped, comfortable, and not too shabby on the road. Unfortunately, its fairly anonymous styling has made it pretty much invisible to shoppers in the entry-luxury segment. For 2004, Mitsubishi aims to put its flagship back on radar screens by giving it a fresh face. The '04 Diamante features an aggressive front-end treatment that seems more than a little inspired by the new Nissan Maxima, one of its prime rivals. Inside, there is a handsomely redesigned instrument panel and a new center console.

2002 Mitsubishi Diamante - The Car Connection
Some reviewers have criticized the Diamante for not having or offering side impact airbags or side curtain airbags and for not including traction control as a standard feature. But this is arguably a question of priorities more so than an objective liability. Many buyers are likely to place a higher value on a standard V-6, for example, than on those side impact airbags. Another criticism has been the fact that Mitsubishi doesn't as yet offer a GPS-based navigation system on the Diamante. But once again, it's a question of priorities. Some may insist on having a navigation system - and may not object to the $2000 that this typically adds to the price of the car.
2001 Mitsubishi Diamante
The interior of the Mitsubishi Diamante is an extremely handsome and functional driving environment. It includes every provision expected of a modern luxury sedan. The LS model even spreads wood lavishly on the dash, console and all four doors. Steering response is crisp and precise, thanks to the Diamante's well-calibrated power-assisted rack and pinion. Isolation from road irregularities is extremely good. At highway speed the noise level is pleasantly low, except for some wind noise at the driver's door. The LS model's high-performance 16-inch wheels and tires produce good roadholding and lateral stability. When pushed hard on back roads, however, the Diamante floats over undulating pavement and leans in hard corners. It does not offer the dynamic control of a firm European-style suspension, feeling more like an American sedan.
WREG-TV Memphis - 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
The Mitsubishi Diamante features a handsome and functional driving environment. It includes every appointment expected of a modern luxury sedan. The LS model spreads wood lavishly on the dash, console and all four doors. The Diamante will easily spin its front wheels on wet pavement. When you're hurrying on a rainy day, you will see the little dashboard traction-control monitor light up regularly. But the traction control is not over-anxious to engage, which is a good thing; better to have a little wheel slip, than to have the computer constantly applying the brakes when they are not needed. Overly eager engagement of traction control can be intrusive, unnecessarily impeding your forward momentum, while simultaneously wasting fuel and brake pad material. Some of the most prestigious luxury cars err in this manner. The all-season tires provide good roadholding and lateral stability. When pushed hard on back roads, however, the Diamante floats over undulating pavement and leans in hard corners. It does not offer the dynamic control of a firm European-style suspension, feeling more like an American sedan.
1997 Mitsubishi Diamante
Diamante was first introduced to the American car buyer in 1991. The product theme for this second generation Diamante is Built for Living, a slogan that guided the redesign and re-engineering of the car. The generous trunk has a squared off, rather sassy look that also contributes to the commodious interior. Perhaps Mitsubishi will add an interior cargo net next year to help secure grocery bags and make it easier to retrieve the wandering grapefruit. The Diamante offers a choice of models, either the well equipped base ES or the even better equipped LS. Since both models are mechanically identical, the differences are in trim details. For example, the ES comes standard with a cloth interior, while the LS has leather. The ES is equipped with 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels and tires, while the LS travels on 16-inch bright-finished wheels. Both models feature four-wheel disc brakes, with antilock available as an option.
2004 Mitsubishi Diamante - Profile - 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante
The Inside Story: Well-equipped and well-built, the 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante is like a luxury sedan inside, belying its low price. Features a new center console and interior with handier cupholders, plus new upholstery. Not quite as slope-roofed as some competitors, it is a little easier to get into the rear seat and comfortable for a lengthy drive once you're in. Think "bargain" when you think of a 2004 Mistubishi Diamante because this car is somewhat long in the tooth and is ready for a ground-up re-creation. However, bargain doesn't mean cheap when it comes to fit and finish, or the level of equipment offered for the price.
