  Great Car for the Money - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By rbthomes - March 16 - 6:36 am

  Excellent ride. Smart styling. Good fit and finish inside and out. Leather seats are firm and comfortable for a big driver. All the doors open wide.

  Great car! - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Christie - February 21 - 8:06 am

  I never gave Kia motors much thought until one day on the internet I was doing some comparison shopping and the Amanti popped up, so I did a lot of research and decided to test drive the Amanti and when I did, it had me sold! My first impression was the nice interior, then the drive, which was smooth and quiet; when I stepped on the gas pedal I was amazed at the pep for a 200 horsepower engine. The car is well made, very tight inside and out. People are constantly looking and waving when Im going down the road. Ive had this car for three weeks and everyday I can not wait to get behind the wheel! Test drive this car and you want be disappointed.

  Love hate relationship - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By wmscott - February 12 - 12:20 pm

  Bought this car for the wife. We both love the car. The fit finish and comfort are great. The gas mileage is terrible. The cost of maintaining the car has been far too high. I seem to have to buy several new headlights a year at around $80 a pop. Just had the mandatory 60K service and the tab was $1,300. Replaced the timing belt as recommended. The belt had zero sign of wear on it and will not do it again at 120K if we still have it. They will make you buy a new hydraulic tensioner when they do the job. They charge me $189 for that very simple device. Overall cost of maintenance is out of control and my make me shy away from another KIA in the future. Transaxle had to be replaced at 39K.

  I love My Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Amy Eve - January 23 - 8:13 am

  This car is fantastic. I love everything about it. I only have two complaints about the car. The fuel mileage is not as advertised -- I get about 15.7 miles to the gallon in city driving. The other complaint is the horn -- far too soft and sounds like it belongs in a economy tuna can car. Ive owned the car for 13 months now and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I have not had to go back to the dealer for anything other than oil changes. The car was sold to me perfect! It is a great car to own and drive and I just cant say enough good things about it.

  Love my Car! - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Carol - November 2 - 6:10 am

  I have owned my Amanti for about 5 months and I have never driven a more comfortable, reliable car. The interior & exterior design, sun roof, color (a nice light gold) all make it a real looker. I have driven SUVs for several years, and became tired of "bumpy" rides and no back seat. This car has all the roomy features, and a huge trunk space. I got it slightly used, and its as clean as a whistle!

  Love this car! High quality for less $$s - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Rich - October 27 - 1:43 am

  Bought Optima for my son and was very impressed with quality and warrenty. Thirty days later we bought the Amanti because of the styling, price, quality and excellent warranty. This car is fun to drive, extremely comfortable...especially the back seat (used as a limo in Korea). This car turns heads in the USA...guys are draw to the styling and love the interior. Has all the bells and whistles for $10,000 less than the competition.

  Love my Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Mike - September 10 - 10:13 pm

  Ive owned Cadillacs, Hondas, Toyotas, and Nissans. I absolutely love this car. It rides as smooth and quiet as a Cadillac, but came with more great options than a Caddy at twice the price. Ive had to have the computer tweaked once. Comfort is an absolute plus. I can drive for 5 hours and not be remotely tired (and Im 60). The Infinity sound system is very good, but, yes, a Bose is better. The warranty program is excellent and Kia certainly stands behind their product. Handling could be a tad better, but you quickly get the feel of it. I have to admit, I took KIA off the trunk and changed the wheel covers, which has generated many questions as to what kind of car is it. I love it.

  So glad I bought it! - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Terry - August 30 - 1:20 pm

  How can you beat this car at this price! It rides great, is extremely comfortable and has all the features I wanted. I traded in a Lincoln Continental which was a great car but Im glad I did. Love the Cream Gold color with the Black interior - it looks soooo rich. I work at a professional service firm and I cant believe how many people have made positive comments about my new sweet ride! Cant wait to have a reason to go somewhere. I open the moon roof, turn on the fantastic Infinity stereo system and Im in heaven!

  Awsome car - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Rick Martin - June 5 - 7:36 am

  The car rides like a dream. The sound system is incredible and the interior looks like a car costing at least twice as much. Coming almost fully loaded for under $25,000, people want to know where I got the money for such an expensive car. I just laugh an tell them I hit the lottery. Sweet car all the way around.
