  • 2004 Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    My 2004 Amanti is a great vehicle to ride and drive. Gas mileage I feel could have been better. After only 5,000 miles I had to have a new transmission put in.

  • Imports really did it this time - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    The luxury of the best of both domestics and import high end at a price all can appreciate. Best value available today. Looks like a Bentley and Lincoln combined. Handles like a Rolls. The best of all luxury cars at a domestic economy price.

  • Amanti vs Cadillac - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I went from a Cadillac to an Amanti - a HUGE difference. The Amanti has a "fast" car feel when driving, hugging the curves. There are Cadillac comfort features that I miss: Armrest for the driver, side mirrors that stay set, outlets that work when the engine is off, and better available storage for the driver. The plus items for the Amanti would be: nice trunk, comfortable rear passenger sets, individual a/c settings, and the front passenger seat reclines. We did tint the windows and now the car looks 100% like a Jag - just needs the hood emblem. One service center actually thought it was a Jag until he saw the wheel coverings.

  • You feel it. - 2005 Kia Amanti

    You may not be acquainted to extremely light handling at low speed; you will soon recognize that the faster the Amanti runs, the heavier it gets. The body integrity of Amanti is amazing at its low price compared to other expensive European cars. Why dont you get Amanti instead of a twice as expensive Acura or Lexus?

  • A nice car for a reasonable price. - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    A very nice vehicle with a lot of features for a good price. It turns a lot of heads. Some have compared its looks to a Mercedes & Jaguar.

  • WOW I am impressed - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I just had my Mercedes totaled. Due to the economy I could not afford another one. Sadden to take a downgrade, I decided to look for an economy car. When I went to the Kia dealership; after looking at two cars, my eyes focused on this Amanti. When I got inside, I was sold! I thought I was looking at an upgrade Mercedes and a Jag combined. She is a beauty and a sight for sore eyes! I am impress! Her drive, style, and grace have made me feel like I did not step down at all rather than went up! She is gorgeous and adds class to my personality and my persona.

    Ive been driving Kia cars since 1994 when I bought a Ford Aspire, built by Kia. Then a 97 Sephia which has given and still gives excellent service, but now requires a muffler and timing belt replacement. Also have a 2002 Rio which is 3 years old and has given perfect service with NO problems. Have also used extensively a 2002 Optima which is a wonderful car. The Amanti should be just as good with a lot more luxury.

  • I love my Kia - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Ive only owned my Kia for a few weeks, and dont have a lot of miles on it yet but I thoroughly love it. It looks as good as a car costing $35,000.00 or more, and drives like you would expect a very expensive car to drive. It has all the bells and whistles and I see heads turn as I drive down the road, and I know its not me theyre looking at (Im 72!).

  • a car for all seasons - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Smooth quiet ride with luxurious roomy interior. The handling and turning radius is excellent. The storage is adequate and the pass through is a plus.

  • Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti

    Ive popped my hood and trunk for total strangers at the bank, stores and other places. People love this car.
