  • Love my Amanti - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I havent owned my Amanti long but felt compelled to share. I love the way it drives and get lots of compliments. I have been in a Durango and was worried about space but that is not an issue with the Amanti.

  • Economic Luxury - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I have always been impressed with the look of the Kia Amanti since its debut in 2004. Kia has captured the luxury look of Jaguar and Mercedes Benz without the pricing. So far, I continue to be impressed with my own Amanti including the performance and the interior design. The extras on the car are wonderful and the price was also a benefit.

  • Great Car - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    This is a great car. It gave me luxury at an affordable price. The car rides very smoothly and it is very comfortable for myself and passengers.

  • Kia - 2006 Kia Amanti

    I was not considering the Kia Amanti until I saw it on the road over and over again. Ive had mine for almost 6 months and have driven it from FL to MD. twice. What a joy it is to drive. I have a Mercedes Benz as well, but I enjoy the Kia as much, if not more, on the open road.

  • Nice interior but poor handling - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    Its a nice comfortable car from the inside. Very spacious. Quiet engine.

  • Great Value for the $$$$$ - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    An excellent value for the money. Build quality and amenities compare favorably with much more expensive cars and Ive had no warranty issues over the first 15K miles. People regularly comment on its sharp appearance and attractive lines. Best car Ive ever owned.

  • service has been poor - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I have had front end problems since I bought this car. The transmission is going. The tires on my car are poor quality. The car needs some TLC. This could be a great car if the Kia people would take an interest in this car. It has a great body with good mileage. They need to fix the little things that give you an upset stomach. The car is new it should act that way.

  • Lemon - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I have a run-away Amanti. It also stops for no reason, and all the bells and warning lights come on. Dealer cant duplicate problems, so thinks I dont have a problem. They have had it 5 times now, and the last time over a week. I dont feel safe driving this car, but doubt the dealer will replace it. Im at the point where hiring a lawyer will be my next step. Im really surprised with my State Farm insurance agent who seem unconcerned that the car takes off on its own. Love the comfort and ride, just cant trust the safety. Also the paint keeps chipping. Wonder if anyone else has these problems with the KIA Amanti?

  • Great Value for Good Car - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I love the looks of the Amanti. Sound system is great and it is very comfortable to drive. Have driven 900 miles in one day and arrived feeling pretty good. Gas mileage OK on highway (around 24 at 70) but sucks gas around town (17). I saw review about chips in paint and have several on my white Amanti. Paint may be fragile but pearl white is gorgeous. Steering is a little numb and throttle could be a little more linear. Ride is comfortable but cheap tires are noisy and stiff. Ride motions need to be better damped without being harsher. Love the way the interior looks. One warranty claim to replace master brake cylinder at 2 days and that is it.

  • Used 2006 Kia Amanti - 2006 Kia Amanti
    By -

    I traded my Jaguar S Type 4.0 for a used 2006 Kia Amanti. Ok, the Amanti is no Jaguar in terms of performance, but its the nicest luxury car available at a sensible price. Ive been admiring the Amanti since it came out in 2004.The Amanti is every bit as luxurious as the Jaguar and the leather interior is actually nicer. The bouncy American luxury-car ride will take some getting used to after the finely tuned suspension on the Jag, but its roomier, more comfortable and much more practical. No more $128.00 oil changes and I can burn regular gas in the Amanti.
