  2005 Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Shadow - May 9 - 3:16 pm

  Got the car a week ago, have noticed that as it gets colder the ride gets stiffer. I did not like the plastic gas filler cover on a car at this price. Car handles well even with summer tires on icy roads. the ESP and ABS systems keep the car on track when accelerating or breaking, as I passed numerous vehicles in the ditch on their sides. Quality of fuel makes a considerable difference in fuel mileage.

  My Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Karolyn - April 17 - 2:10 pm

  We went on a 6 week trip this year and had the 30,000. check up before we left. We put over 3,000 miles while we were gone and the car performed outstanding. We reached 34.1 mpg on the highway and thought it was a mistake but after calculating the miles it was correct. The Nitrol that was put in the tires may have been a factor. I have a friend that wants my car but I wont sell to her. My free oil changes and service I receive from Bill Bryan Kia will have me in my car for a little longer.

  VERY PLEASED WITH PURCHASE - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Steve - April 13 - 12:16 am

  Very happy with my purchase. This car is everything that they say. It doesnt take corners real fast. I didnt like the stock wheels that came with it. Only real dislike - they forgot to put a directional mirror in it. This car looks designed by Mercedes and Jaguar but is the best value. I would highly recommend it.

  Best vehicle I have ever owned! - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Robin Cofer - February 19 - 10:43 pm

  I have had this car for a year now. My husband and I continually tell everyone that this is by far the best vehicle we have ever owned. I didnt know what is was when I saw someone driving it. Unlike me, I walked up to a total stranger and asked him about the car. He said he traded his Mercedes for this and he was more pleased with the Amanti. My husband is six and a half feet tall and it is important that he has head-room and has enough legroom. Of course, that generally cramps anyone in the seat behind him, but not in the Amanti. We chose this over a Lincoln and a Cadillac. We have advised two other couples to buy this. They thank us when they see us. Our next car will be an Amanti.

  Classy Chassis - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Linda Overman - February 16 - 4:36 am

  Its a shame that American car manufacturers just dont get the idea of quality and comfort. Hats off to Kia for the Amanti--what a beautiful car. Plenty of power, lap of luxury and a pretty cool style! I have driven many American luxury cars- Caddy,Regis,Buick Ford-- but this one is the nicest. Smooth--silent---stable. Everything that a true luxury car should be---without the price gouging.

  My Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Kristi - January 20 - 1:26 pm

  I was one of those who would only drive American vehicles. I bought a 2004 Grand Prix GT new and traded it for a new 05 Impala. Both were nothing but trouble. Because of the warranty I decided to try KIA. This has been the greatest car. Its dependable and built very well. Unlike my previous cars it is extremely safe. I have driven it over 15000 miles in 4 months and not a problem once.

  CHUCKS REVIEW - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By CHARLES P. TRACY - December 19 - 2:20 pm

  I have been surprised with the reaction that I get from my friends about the Kia Amanti. They all are impressed with the styling and comfort of the car, not to mention how quite it runs. They just cant believe that it is a Kia ! We also have a hatchback Spectra that I bought for my daughter. She loves it.

  fall in love again - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By T - December 15 - 2:33 pm

  I drive a lot. I am thrilled with the side curtain airbags and the front passenger seat monitor of the airbag. I love the ability to manually shift. The heaviness of the vehicle lends to that old feeling of safety. I adore the look of the car itself and am thrilled to say that for the past month I am getting 26 miles to the gallon (3000 miles). I truly might be able to love again ... this car makes you remember those feelings!

  Who needs GM? - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Tronzani - December 10 - 1:56 am

  I have driven GM products my entire life and never would be caught dead in a Kia. I was always raised that you got what you paid for, and from what I have now learned I paid for a Jag at a fraction of the cost! The fit and finish is amazing, the seats are comfortable (And heated with 5 settings!) and the ride is like a cloud! The Infinity sound system can blow your ears off, and the wood trim is fantastic. For a full sized sedan the gas mileage is great, and the 200 hp will really rock out o the gate. Not only that, but the trunk is spacious with more then I know what to do with, and the back seat is easy to navigate. The doors open wider then most vehicles and this is an overall dream!

  My third Kia - 2005 Kia Amanti
  By Garry - October 19 - 11:23 am

  We owned two Sedonas and were pleased with the safety styling and value when the Amanti was introduced. We purchased one with the optional electronic stability control. The performance has improved as it was driven. When new it didnt accelerate very well. It is now "hard to hold down!" We have owned a couple of Lincolns and this auto compares very favorably.
