  • Happy Driver - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Love the way car handles, great looks, well designed.

  • Excellent Car in every aspect. - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    This is by far the best and greatest purchase of an automobile we ever made ( in my life I have purchased some 45 to 50 cars). Even with high mileage, this is an absolute beauty.

  • Bentley Continental Flying Spur? - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle in 2006. It looked like a Bentley or did it look like a Jag or did it look like an E-300 Mercedes or... well, you get the picture! This car is an eye catcher for sure. It kinda has to grow on you! It definitely has the European styling. It is priced way below the aforementioned vehicles. For the price and the warranty, you cant go wrong. I drove the Lincoln Town car, Cadillac DTS, and Mercury Crown Victoria before my purchase. Why spend the extra money! This car rates among these that I mentioned. JD Power and Associates rated it top in customer satisfaction and I have to agree. It is delightful to drive and I havent had any problems with it to date.

  • Great Car! - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    This is a true luxury car! After owning a Olds Aurora and a Toyota Avalon this car has them both beat. The interior is as luxurious as any on the market. All controls are logically placed, the leather is beautiful, the wood grain dash is a site to behold. Great warranty. The front and rear seats are roomy and comfortable. The exterior is as classy as any car available regardless of price. Anyone who is considering a full size car should look at the Amanti before making a choice, take the money you save and go on a trip in your Amanti.

  • I love my Kia - 2005 Kia Amanti

    I traded in a Cadillac for the Kia, and it has been a great car. Fun to drive, and much less expensive than a Cadillac. I will buy another one if this one ever wears out ... great car!

  • Great sedan - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I have purchased several luxury automobiles over the years and almost always had problems that needed immediate attention within the first few weeks of ownership. With the Kia Amanti I have had zero problems during the first several months. My Daughter also purchased a Kia Amanti and has had no problems during the first year.

  • Our new Kia Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    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 -

    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!

  • Excellent Pride - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    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 -

    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.
