I like these cars but why in the world wouldn't they put side airbags and a 5-speed automatic in this car if they are available in Australia? http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/mitssite/jsp/pages/vehicles/s- pecs/specs.jsp?groupId=3 No wonder they lost the most important market by purposely cheapening the car... |

Mitsu is finally giving in... Add the $3000 loyalty rebate and one of these babies will be mine

I was checking the price of the 2004 VR-X w/ leather and 44 miles at my local Carmax.com and it kept going down each day. I finally decided to pull the trigger this past weekend at $19,999 minus the $1,000 bonus rebate minus the $500 education edge rebate but someone from NC snatched it right before I got there. I saw this Diamante up close for the first time that day and it looked so good, especially in black. In a way I'm happy because I don't really need a new car right now and have other loans to take care of... but you have to admit that it was a deal of the year

| Carmax in Atlanta has an 04 silver LS for $21378, not including the extra $1k carmax rebate. I believe Mitsu is offering a $500 loyalty rebate, but I'm not sure. The LS isn't as nice looking as the VRX but this particular LS is the fully equipped model with the seat heater/traction control option. An excellent value if you ask me. It does tick me off though considering I still owe way more then that on my 03 LS even after making 8 payments! UGGHHH.... | |
Yeah, it's not as nice looking as the VR-X and I think that its wood trim looks a bit tacky plus it's more expensive  Sorry that you owe more on your '03 but you can always argue that you have the last of the best looking Diamantes. After seeing a '04 up close I would not say that myself though

Hey, just because the word is out the Diamante will be discontinued for 2005 doesn't mean there is nothing to talk about regarding current Diamante's. I plan to drive my trouble-free 1999 Diamante for at least five more years, probably more. My wife will go even longer in her trouble-free 2002. I am sure there will be many years of current Diamante's still on the road. Let's hear from the owners. Mr. Vivona |

My 03 D has about 11200 miles now. No further problems although the brakes still have a slight vibration. I'm beginning to wonder if an out of round tire is causing it, rather then a warped rotor, especially since the Goodyear tires have been known for problems on this car and there is a vibration felt through the steering at highway speeds. The vibration is tolerable so I'm not going to worry about it for now. Other then that and some wind noise coming from the front passenger window, things are going ok.

| If the rotors are warped that could cause some vibration at highway speeds as well though. | |

| The vibration at highway speeds is when the brakes are not being applied. Its only noticeable as a slight steering wheel shake. The brake vibration can be felt at any speed but its not constant. Sometimes its only a few shakes and then its smooth; other times it shakes a little longer. The vibration is significantly better after they put new front rotors on my car, but its still slightly there. I feel its either a bad tire or the rotors are being warped slightly since they didn't replace the old brake pads. Who knows. I'm just glad the nasty shakes are gone. | |
