  Kia Amanti owner - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Bill Wilds - June 16 - 10:06 am

  I am very pleased with this vehicle, it rides well and is extremely quiet when driving on the highway. The sound system is excellent and the interior room is perfect. Ive owned Mercedes for 20 years and dont see any reason to go back.

  Stop Making the Amanti, please - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By golfer775 - May 26 - 12:35 am

  Got stuck on vacation in Florida with less than 5,000 mi. and replaced the transmission. New transmission goes "zzzzzz" between first and second gear. Kia, from dealer to national manager, refuses to replace or fix it. Dealer says all Amantis go "zzzzzz." Yeah, right. Engine light goes on repeatedly and have had it reset more than 8 times. Dealer wont replace sensor. Dome light went out after 10,000 mi. Bumper finish is pealing. Now with 60,000. Transmission slips regularly. Stay far away from this lemon model and Kia, in general. Awful customer service. Never again.

  Finally found it! - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By LAJR - May 24 - 8:16 am

  I went from looking at Chevys, to Pontiacs, to Hyundais before I stumbled upon the Kia Amanti. I was sold after the test drive. The sales personnel at the dealership were outstanding (imagine that!). A must drive for anyone looking for a car.

  Still rides like a charm - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Turbo - May 8 - 2:46 pm

  Well, I posted a review in July 11,2007. Well this car has exceeded all of my expectations thus far. I was a little apprehensive at first, about buying a car without much of a reported "track" record, however; I have not been disappointed. Since my purchase in 2006, I have had no problems whatsoever. I have performed all of my scheduled maintenance when due. I had 46,000+ miles on the standard Hankook Optimo 417 tires before replacing them. I bought the same tires because of the handling and ride that I got from them. This car sill rides like new and still gets plenty of comments from passers-by. The fuel mileage is quite good on the highway and not so good in the city. Great Car ;-}

  Oh Yea - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Mike Hinton - March 16 - 5:13 pm

  This vehicle was more then I expected for this price. The ride is great. The exterior is a eye catcher. When I step on the gas the car moves with ease without the neck jerking effect. The V- 6 has more then enough get up and go. It makes one think that there is a V-8 under the hood. I could not believe it was a KIA; great job. I would buy another.

  The Amazing Amanti (Be Amazed!) - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By THE57SPOONS - February 18 - 4:10 am

  This is a refreshing change from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda and Mitsubishi, (and Ive owned them all in the past) . The ride is fantastic and I cannot began to tell you how many times people look at our black Kia wondering "thats nice!, what is it?" Were stopped all the time by friends, relatives, workmates, and folks we dont know asking about the car. Many peoples first thought is that it is a new Mercedes, or Jaguar from the front or even a new smaller Lincoln Town Car from the rear. I have never had a car that has generated more interest than our 2004 Kia Amanti!

  My surprise - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Amanti - February 16 - 12:26 pm

  I have been a Cadillac owner for 30 years before I experience the Amanti. I rented this car on a business trip and had it for 2 weeks. I was to impressed with it, I drove to a local KIA dealer and told him to cloan it. He did give me a price and with the warranties I was very impressed. On my return home, I found a local dealer and just ordered it. I have taken two trips with it and found it like driving a Cadillac. You have one very satisfied customer. Please keep up the good work.

  Made the right choice - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Mark Butler - February 15 - 9:50 pm

  I get so many compliments on my Amanti. I have never enjoyed a vehicle more. I look forward now to just driving to the grocery store. Heck, I just sit in it in the garage. The best warranty around. Awesome value and styling. The steering is so light; the ride the smoothest. I would put the quietness and comfort up against the Lexus any day.

  I love my Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Bill Howell - December 12 - 3:30 pm

  Ok, so Ive only had my Amanti a month, but I took another one overnight to drive and fell in love with its style and its handling. The doors shut solidly, the handling is unbelievable; rides smooth. I love the leather and dash. Its got 8 speakers, and the arm rest in the backseat has a compartment with drink holders built in. I get so many thumbs up from admirers. I think Hyundi taking over Kia was the best thing to happen to them. The 10 year/100,000 warranty with 5 years/60,000 is the best in the field.

  I like it! - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By truckee - October 6 - 6:16 pm

  The car handles well and rides well, comfortable to drive, and the controls are easily within reach. Gas mileage could be better. Nice little buggy for the money, I like mine!
