well the diamante needs $2300 dollars worth of work to keep it on the road (stuffed gearbox, computer, lf suspension etc)
it uses between 20 and 25 litres per 100km open road, and about 35 around town

it is worth about $300 (even though it has more luxury than any car i have ever owned)

it costs $900 a year to insure (because its a 3 litre whoop de do)

and i had a rb25det skyline which i considered cheap to run (9km/l open road, 7km/l town)

also the diamante handles like crap.
and it is ugly.
and its gay

meh..

Yeah, starions aren't actually that bad, just depends whether you get one of those ones that likes to break down.

agreed, the worst ones are the ones where if you touch the wiring, it disintegrates. I daily drive mine, stuff does happen though, but not a whole lot. Mainly things that usually go out. Wheel bearings, sometimes fusable links give me problems, and alignment. Not too much trouble with my latest beater. Good luck with the new car

35l/100km......from a 3 litre V6

Check your handbrake dude, it's probably locked on. My wife driving in a 15 year old V8 doesn't crack over 16l/100 in daily driving
