This Year's Model Updates:

The Amanti is an all-new full-size sedan from Kia geared to compete head-on with the likes of Toyota's Avalon and the Buick LeSabre.

Pros:
  • Class-leading amenities, spacious interior, unique exterior styling.
Cons:
  • Some may find the exterior styling odd, 195 horsepower is not much in this class.

  • a very happy owner - the best car we have - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    We have owned many cars from the VW era to the Lincoln, Caddie era. Our Amanti sedan with all the bells and whistles arrived in May 04 and now has 16 thousand miles of the most pleasing hours behind the wheel. We look forward to taking trips, it is that much pleasure driving it. I researched this car and compared it to many other luxury cars; also drove 7 cars and found we kept coming back to the KIA AMANTI. I love it. The auto magazines I monitor have rated the AMANTI as the quietest car made at idle; 40 Db and at 70 mph at 63 Db. No car beats it for quietness and those of you who own one can vouch for that. Being an engineer I have done all sorts of evaluations. Why spend $50,000 more?

  • Would still buy it again - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Purchased March 1, 04. Since then I have had to return to the dealer to have the right front strut tightened, new carrier bearing, new transmission, new radio, to have the computer reset, and to pick up a new trunk light bulb. I currently have strut collers and bushings on order. But, with all this, the car handles as good as any Ive had, and this is #79. This car will get you looks, nice smiles and not once has anyone said anything bad after seeing everything it offers. Got $25,000? Offer the dealer $23,000 and drive it home. Power everything, great radio, leather, dual heat/air-power outside mirrors that tilt down in reverse. What else could you want?

  • My Ride - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I go on many road trips to the south. I love the way it handles on the highway and I just set the cruise control and drive 4 lane interstate to my destination. I experience pleasure with good quality radio/cd/tape music and love the comfort of the leather seats, seats that are able to be adjusted as one drives which adds to more pleasure in driving. I love the body style of the car -- reminds me of a stylish European car. My biggest thought about ownership is the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty -- with this it will probably be the last car that I have to purchase in my lifetime. The mileage is average and correct as stated, city 17 and highway 25. No matter how I drive these are the numbers.

    Have only had it a week now, but so far VERY nice. Great fit and finish. Wife loves the dual climate controls and heated seats.

  • Pleasantly Surprised - 2004 Kia Amanti

  • my 04 Amanti - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    As a sales person I find this to be a fantastic vehicle for my needs. I disagree with the comment of a weak v-6. The car is very comfortable and has all the room 5 people need. I get a lot of positive comments on the vehicle. I will buy a second Amanti.

  • Too Bad for poor service - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Like the car, but the service stinks. Had to have the front grill replaced three times already for deformed molding and it needs to be replaced again. Front suspension rode like a skateboard until one service tech stuffed more rubber in there. Nothing major has broken, but its those little things that add up. Bumper to Bumper warrenty? NO, the salesman lied. Decent service, not a chance. Doubt I would ever purchase a Kia again because of their poor poor service. With all that said, plus much more that could be, I still like the Amanti. But it is a machine, and proper service is necessary at times.

  • Quality, Looks & Unbelievably Priced - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    one of the quietest, smoothest rides I have experienced, bar none. I do not know how Kia can sell an auto of this quality for the asking price, but I am glad to be one of the first year model owners. People ask what kind it is and comments are always favorable. Big car style, Mercedes-look headlights,LOTS of chrome including front grill. Interior has wood trim & optional leather pkg. Very lg trunk w/full sized matching tire & wheel. Sideview mirror even angles down when backing up to avoid anthing on ground behind car. Beautiful full mats standard. Adjustable front & rear headrests. 20-23 MPG. I LOVE THIS CAR!
