  Solid, great warranty - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Sidney Prefer - January 31 - 4:13 pm

  The car rides very good, comfortable and quiet. It has enough power for me. The only drawback is mileage, about 21 overall.

  Feeling sad - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Hopeful - September 28 - 12:33 pm

  I purchased my car with 913 miles on it. It was primarily driven by the Kia manager where I purchased my vehicle. I have roughly 28,000 miles on my car and I am on my 2nd transmission. The new transmission is unfortunately not any better than the initial one. My 1st tranny was replaced at 22,000. Ive brought it back to the dealership and told them about the new 2nd transmission slipping when starting up. Now with cold weather its even worse and Im actually afraid to drive it any long distances until I get this transmission remedied or get another new transmission. Im very envious of the folks who have had good luck. I really love my Amanti, but its sick at the moment.

  more you drive it the more you like it - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By gpf - July 8 - 5:46 am

  Very good power, holds well in sharp curves with ESP option. Exceptional ride and build quality. Extremely quiet at all speeds. Good ergonomics and loads of space. Gas mileage is mediocre. Fit and finish is top drawer. Styling is not offensive but a little stodgy. I would buy it again. Lots of bang for the buck.

  My new Kia - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By kia guy - March 8 - 3:06 pm

  Great power for a car that price and hosepower. 1st gear power is great. Exterior design is ok. Interior is great. Seats are wonderful with a lot of space. The heated seats burn my buns. Its sooo slient I dont even know the car is running when it is. A little too bouncy though. More than a Towncar I think! So cant make those fast turns without feeling like youre about to roll over. Would not spend $30,000 for a new one but this would be a great buy to get a one year old one. Ive seen some for $15,000 for an 04 with 8,000 miles.

  PLEASED ............UNTIL! - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Douglas - February 24 - 8:30 am

  I bought my car used from a reliable car dealership. The car was emaculant contion. The interior and exterior looked new. I was more than pleased with the car until I was told car needed new pistons, $1,800 plus tax. Although I was the second owner, the cars records have kept and the car has been maitained faithfully. (The car has been literally pampered). WATCH OUT WHEN YOU GET TO 80,000 MILES. I asked the KIA technician what causes it or how did it happen and the answer was " maybe the previous owner" and before he could get his answer out, I informed him of the upkeep AND records of the car before I purchased it. I even brought it to their dealership had it checked out before buying it.

  2004 Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By James DiStefano - December 14 - 10:23 am

  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.

  A nice car for a reasonable price. - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By LORI DEARSTONE - September 3 - 5:06 pm

  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.

  No good on GAS at all - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Amanti - September 12 - 12:33 pm

  Overall I love the car, however it is not good on gas at all. I get maybe 12MPG. For that reason alone I do not like my car. I thought that I would get at least 15 city, 21 highway. I get maybe 12 city and 18 highway. Im not happy at all with that. I have meet other people with this car and they tell me the same thing.
