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.

  • near perfect - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    The fit and finish are second to none every bit as good as any mercedes or bmw. The smoothness of ride and handling are top notch, and interior room is spacious as well as comfortable. The amenities offered,in relation to the price of this vehicle make it anextremly good value.

  • Nice Commute - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    While it wont do 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds, it will get you to and from work in excellent comfort and style. The seats are well designed and the front and side airbags assure safety on the road.

    Very happy with this car--3000 miles so far-Good ride-Good quality and workmanship. need auto door locks when put in gear. compass would be helpfull.This was purchased for my wife and she says it is the best car she has ever driven. We are in our 70s so we have had a lot of cars in our life time. I have been in the auto service trade for many years and think this will be a very fine auto for some time to come,

    An Avalon for the price of a base Camry! Ride is comparable to a Buick or Toyota; a bit flat but extremely cushy. Luxury abound!

  • Love it, some minor annoyances - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Bought it 2nd hand with 125k on it, engine light stays on, presently at dealership to have it checked. Initially mirrors did not function properly but dealership replaced the console in arm rest, ok now. Love the car, gas mileage could be better however it is a heavy car with a big v6 engine. Could have come with a compass & gps system, have added both myself, with this said it comes with everything else you could possibly need.

  • After Inspection - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Okay, I had the Amanti go through a full used car inspection at the Kia dealership. Cost $104.00. Three items needed attention - Left and Right valve cover gaskets need replacing, and the rear main seal needs replacing. Total cost for repairs by the dealership will be $1010.00. Do I still love the car - Yes! The leak must be a very small one because you cannot tell it has a leak by driving it and have not noticed oil leaking. Will I get it fixed - Yes when income taxes come in next year. Can it wait til then - they said it could as long as I keep an eye on the oil level. I paid $5000.00 for the car and NADA shows its value a little over $6000.00 so with the repair it will meet value.

  • A Real Sleeper - 2004 Kia Amanti
    By -

    The performance and styling of the Amanti is outstanding. I have driven it across country and it handles and rides like a true luxury car. Several friends have compared the styling to that of the Jaguar. The solid door closing sound, the leather seats and the interior features gives the feeling of a much more expensive automobile. One negative, the tires are wearing out too fast even though they are balanced and aligned.
