2002 Mitsubishi Diamante 3.5 V6 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Awesome vehicle for comfort, style and value
Faults:
Nothing. Usual service intervals. Changed brake pads at last 70KMs service.
General Comments:
Very very good car. My previous 'car' was a Fiat Punto Sporting, and yes it fell to pieces within 6 months.
So I flicked the remains, and bought the 02 Diamante on a recommend from a mate - who had one as a company car, and then purchased one after when he left the job as he rated them so highly.
I can see why! We have had BMW before, and I would rate this up there with a 5 series - in size, muscle, comfort, technology and drive.
Very impressive vehicle - I can absolutely guarantee it will get me anywhere fast and in style. Reliable, tough, and quiet - gets me to business meetings with the right look, and also does us for family trips round the bush and hills - woooh!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

It is regretful that you obviously got a lemon. However, my 2002 Diamante, 3.5 liter engine, 60,000 miles) is a jewel. It is luxurious with the leather interior. The power seats are terrific.
The engine responds every time I need to enter a freeway, highway traffic or just pull away from a mess in the rear view mirror.
The brakes are the best of any vehicle I have ever driven. The Infiniti sound system is all I need. The moon roof is a welcomed addition. My work is a 14 mile round trip, but I fill up only twice a month.
Until a "friend" slammed the back door, I had no wind noise.
Handling has been sufficient in all normal conditions and very good in a few abnormal conditions. There is nothing I would change about this vehicle.
