  • Teds Opinion - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    My experience with this car has been 4.0. It could have a little additional power. And I cant understand why they didnt install the automatic rear view mirror. It would also be nice to have something similar to the GM program that gives driving instructions on trips.

  • Luxury at a not-so-luxury-price - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I switched from an Infiniti to a Lexus. This is without a doubt a quieter and smoother ride. Time will tell about its reliability, since it is a new model, but I feel comfortable with the warranty that comes with it. I got mine loaded, even with ESP, and feel very safe in it.

  • Awesome Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Beautiful car, fun to drive. Great sound system, handles well, super quiet. Considered others, the Chrysler 300, Ford 500, but this one is hands down the best value, and pretty comfortable on long trips.

  • Luv Amanti - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Yes it is slow but it is very quiet and comfortable. High quality amenities. Kia based its design on the top luxury cars. It uses the same key entry and power windows as the BMW. The sound system is superb. The trunk and engine compartment are beautiful. I get 22 MPG consistently.

  • Affordable luxury and Elegance - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    No problems, smooooth ride, heads turn, people ask what it is. Cant believe that KIA has a car like this. Cant believe that I am saying this - KIA has a customer for life. Too bad domestics cant have this quality for this price.

  • Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I bought a white pearl in 2005 and my husband did not care for the color so we were out riding one day and we stopped by the car lot and decided to trade it in for a black one. These cars are so sharp looking, no matter what color they are. I feel like Im riding in a Cadillac but I did not have to pay the price for one! I love my car and my next car will be an Amanti and it will be my third Amanti that I have owned. Just ask me and Ill tell you like I tell everyone else "best car Ive ever owned".

  • More than you expect - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    This car is far more than I ever expected! I have owned several high end European cars and I am just as happy with the KIA as I was with any of the much higher priced cars. Everyone who rides with us says the car is beautiful and rides like a dream. I love this car.

  • Imports really did it this time - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    The luxury of the best of both domestics and import high end at a price all can appreciate. Best value available today. Looks like a Bentley and Lincoln combined. Handles like a Rolls. The best of all luxury cars at a domestic economy price.

  • Amanti vs Cadillac - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I went from a Cadillac to an Amanti - a HUGE difference. The Amanti has a "fast" car feel when driving, hugging the curves. There are Cadillac comfort features that I miss: Armrest for the driver, side mirrors that stay set, outlets that work when the engine is off, and better available storage for the driver. The plus items for the Amanti would be: nice trunk, comfortable rear passenger sets, individual a/c settings, and the front passenger seat reclines. We did tint the windows and now the car looks 100% like a Jag - just needs the hood emblem. One service center actually thought it was a Jag until he saw the wheel coverings.

  • You feel it. - 2005 Kia Amanti
    By -

    You may not be acquainted to extremely light handling at low speed; you will soon recognize that the faster the Amanti runs, the heavier it gets. The body integrity of Amanti is amazing at its low price compared to other expensive European cars. Why dont you get Amanti instead of a twice as expensive Acura or Lexus?
