Diamante LS
| | Model of the car: | Diamante LS | | | General comments: | When this vehicle first came on the market, I fell in love with it immediately, and although it took about 5 years, I eventually bought a pre-owned one with 17,000 miles on it. Within one month I had to have the brakes replaced, and have been doing that almost every year since. Even after the first time I was told that the rotors were worn down so much that the next time they would have to be replaced.
Other than the brakes, the car was a dream to me. The ride was smooth compared to my Honda Accord; much quicker in the acceleration, better sound system, lots of bells and whistles.
Within a few months I had to have the stereo replaced, but that was under warranty ( I think I ended up with a refurbished one, though). The back light on the new one soon went out, but that's a minor inconvenience since I know what stations I have preset into the system. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Of course the braking system is a big problem. No one should have to replace the brakes as much as I have had to.
The car developed a problem with smoke coming from the tail pipe at around 80,000 miles, and it seems that every Diamante I see on the road has this same problem. I wonder why this hasn't been addressed by more people.
The paint job is questionable as there has been significant peeling both inside and out. | | | Previous car: | None |
