The 1996-1997 Mitsubishi Diamante is a mid-size luxury sedan that marked a significant shift in the brand's image. Introduced in 1995 as a replacement for the Galant, the Diamante aimed to compete with established players in the luxury segment like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, boasting a more refined and upscale interior, along with improved performance and handling. The second generation Diamante, spanning model years 1996-1997, continued to build upon this foundation, offering new features like a more powerful 3.5L V6 engine and a luxurious leather-appointed interior. This iteration of the Diamante was available in three trim levels: LS, LS-S, and the top-of-the-line ES, each offering a distinct level of features and equipment. Notable features included power windows and locks, cruise control, automatic climate control, and an optional sunroof. While not considered a sporty car, the Diamante offered a comfortable and refined driving experience, thanks to its independent suspension and responsive steering. However, the Diamante did face some challenges, particularly in terms of reliability. While the 3.5L V6 engine was generally robust, it was prone to issues with the timing belt, requiring a costly replacement at specified intervals. The complex electrical system was also known for its susceptibility to glitches and failures. Despite its shortcomings, the 1996-1997 Mitsubishi Diamante remains a unique and well-equipped car for its time, offering a comfortable and capable ride. Its combination of luxury and practicality made it a popular choice for families and individuals looking for a reliable and comfortable daily driver. The Diamante's performance and styling also appealed to those who sought a more sophisticated alternative to the mainstream Japanese sedans. Those seeking to maintain their Diamante in top shape will often find a service repair workshop manual to be an invaluable resource.
