  Our new Kia Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Thomasine Carrington - September 6 - 3:50 pm

  We love the Amanti. We had a little trouble at first with all the electronic niceties, but we had driven the same car for 12 years and were not used to them. The accompanying manual is clear and understandable. Its true luxury.

  A True Luxury car - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Rob - August 31 - 12:20 pm

  I bought the car based on comfort, safety, and price. The exterior and interior is like a Jaguar, only better built. The body style and driving characteristics however are like a Lincoln Town Car. The Amanti is more enjoyable than "fun" to drive, and is not a good choice for someone seeking a sporty ride. Don’t be turned off because it’s a Kia either. The Amanti is far better than the Chrysler 300, Ford 500, Buick LaCrosse, and the new Toyota Avalon even if price is not a factor!

  Get lots of compliments on it. Everyone thinks its either a Mercedes 300 or Jaguar, then I tell them to go look at back of car.

  Great car - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Gordon - August 24 - 1:53 pm

  Actually purchased used after having been a Hertz Rental. Have had the car for over a year and it has performed flawlessly. Comfortable to drive as the leather seats are heated and can be positioned for comfort - with lumbar support! Only complaint is economy. About 24MPG on the highway and 19MPG in town. Our previous car was a 97 Cadillac V-8 that had better gas mileage but not near as fun to drive as our KIA Amanti.

  I cant believe I bought a Kia - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By flynmissP - July 24 - 3:33 pm

  I was looking for a family sedan, as I need to transport two teenage boys, a husband, my father and myself. After test driving the Altima 2.5 as well as the 3.5, the Saturn Ion, Ford 500, and a few other cars, we stopped in at the local Kia dealer on a whim. Not seriously thinking about even looking at the Kia much less taking it for a spin. Boy was I shocked ... speechless would even be appropriate. This car looks like a million bucks. After taking it for a test drive I knew our search was over. Im hard to please. I own a BMW and a Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Edition. I like quality, and Im willing to pay for it. This car is a steal. Dont pay attention to the nay sayers ... try it.

  A great car - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Marq - July 13 - 1:10 pm

  I purchased this car with 18 miles on it. I had 1 problem -- the brake rotors had some rust and caused the brakes to grab. The dealer touched up the rotors and it has been great ever since. The seat warmers and sound system are fantastic.

  major transmision problems - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By dan - July 3 - 6:23 pm

  after 3 years and 26000 miles. and dealership service always on time the transmision started whining almost like a grind. i took it to a kia dealer and it needs a new transmision! they had to order a new one and no loaner car all they said is the best they can do is give a courtesy ride home.

  Amanti 2004 - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Charles Durnil - June 28 - 8:00 am

  Could be a bit more powerful, but is adequate. Fuel economy is less than expected, have seen better on more powerful 6s and 8s. That said, still an excellent value, a good car, that I expect will be great, with a few improvements.

  My Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Amanti - May 19 - 6:00 pm

  I had a 740i prior to this Amanti. I enjoy this car much better, the fact it has everything my other car had and the maintenance is 1/10 the cost. Its fun to drive long distance, and gets an average of 25 miles to the gallon on long drives. As a luxury car, I will consider this the best one Ive own. Performance is a little on the weak side, but the driving is a great pleasure to behold the owner. Many strangers have commented to myself and my spouse of how much they like the looks of the car, not to mention mistaking it at first for a Mercedes or Jaguar depending if the reference was from the rear or front. After looking at various cars, we were sold on this one with no second thought.
