I drove SUV's for 15 years, now that I have an Amanti, I can't stand to even get in an SUV! It was time for a little luxury and the Amanti offers that and lots more. Love my Amanti.

I stopped in the dealer to "just look"- was told to take it for the afternoon- by the time I made it home, I had arranged for financing through my credit union- Went back that evening and signed the papers! I traded in a Chrsyler 300M and I DONT MISS IT at all. This car is easier to handle and drives terrific. It hugs the road. Already have 2650 miles on it, we are taking our first road-trip this weekend! I am getting better mileage in this car. I like the sun-roof, it doesn't seem to be as noisey as other vehicles.

The unusual look is what attracted me to the Kia Amanti but now that I have purchased it and have been driving it for several months the car is great in many other ways. It handles well, has a tremendous amount of space in the front and back seats and also in the trunk, has a good sound system, and I have gotten many compliments on the car. For the price you cannot get a better equipped car and one that looks expensive. Many people have said it looks like a Jag or a Mercedes. I would recommend the Amanti to anyone.

This car reminds me of the mid 70's Buick. The ride is great, power is more than enough for the average driver and the car is built really solid. Doors are very heavy and have extra large openings, so it's easy for even large or older people to get into easily. Headroom and legroom is fantastic. The features are good and controls are easy to get to and understand.

I love this car... I get compliments on it every day, and people ask if they can look at the inside. The only thing I do not like about this car is the rear view mirror. It is sooo large, and placed right in the middle of the windshield. It is impossible to see traffic.... A design flaw that needs atention!

My new Amanti

2004 Kia Amanti 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

I wasn't immidiately considering the Amanti as my next car at first. But then I looked inside the car, and decided right there. The Amanti's interior would look right at home in any luxury sedan, and here it was in a $25,000 KIA! Even though the rest of the car wasn't quite as impressive the ride was comfortable, but acceleration and handling were somewhat disappointing) but the interior made me go for it. I have owned the car for about a month now, and have about 1,000 miles on it, and nothing has gone wrong yet. And if it does, KIA will pay for it, so I'm not worried.

Bought it 2nd hand with 125k on it, engine light stays on, presently at dealership to have it checked. Initially mirrors did not function properly but dealership replaced the console in arm rest, ok now. Love the car, gas mileage could be better however it is a heavy car with a big v6 engine. Could have come with a compass & gps system, have added both myself, with this said it comes with everything else you could possibly need.

We have owned many cars from the VW era to the Lincoln, Caddie era. Our Amanti sedan with all the bells and whistles arrived in May '04 and now has 16 thousand miles of the most pleasing hours behind the wheel. We look forward to taking trips, it is that much pleasure driving it. I researched this car and compared it to many other luxury cars; also drove 7 cars and found we kept coming back to the KIA AMANTI. I love it. The auto magazines I monitor have rated the AMANTI as the quietest car made at idle; 40 Db and at 70 mph at 63 Db. No car beats it for quietness and those of you who own one can vouch for that. Being an engineer I have done all sorts of evaluations. Why spend $50,000 more?

This is a very comfortable, quiet riding car. Once you sit in it and drive it, your are pampered and feel like you are sitting in a much more expensive automobile. At first, the styling might be considered unusual, but after awhile it comes across as a fine looking car in its own rite. It has plenty of power, but has a little pause before she really takes off. When I leave at the traffic light, I feel that others are left behind. Mileage could be better, though. (Maybe I should slow down a little!).

I traded in my 2001 Lexus GS300 for this car. This car is similar in many ways except two. It's less expensive than my Lexus and the warranty is better. 1500 miles on the Amanti already and I love it. Coworkers actually thought it was a new Lexus when I first drove it to work. Say hello to the new look of Kia. I'm proud!

I spent a week driving it as a rental, in which time it has completely rebuilt my image of Kia. The build quality was far above what I expected and I got numerous looks while driving the car. I disregarded the break in period; the car had 50 miles on it; as a result sometimes the engine smelt like it was burning - not good.

This is a great looking car, I moved out of a SUV and was a little concerned about being lower to the ground and having the same viewing advantage. No problem, the windaow, mirrors and the sun roof give excellent overall views. The accessories are excellent, the A/C works well in automatic the sound system is super good, and the ride is comfortable. So far I have no complaints or problems. definitely excellent value for the price.

Test drove Avalon, Altima, Diamante, Camry, Accord, because I wanted a foreign made vehicle. Good luck finding one of these made in a foreign country (with exception of Diamante). Was test driving an Altima and this dealer had Kia. Asked what kind of car was the Amanti and was told Kia. Oh no! A Kia! I can't have a Kia. I didn't have anything to lose to test drive. Needless to say, I now own it. I have tried to find faults with this car and have found none so far. Seems to be a very solid car, drives effortlessly, rides like a dream, love all features and options (standard). Family and friends love it.

I noticed the description said "odd proportion" but I think the Amanti has the style of 3 cars in one: Jaguar, Mercedes, Lincoln. It has CLASS. I have owned the car for only 4 months and in that 4 months I have received the most compliments on my car. People stop and look, go get their spouses, ask what kind, and simply admire my car which makes me really proud. I have the Pearl color. The Amanti is a Classy car for a great price! Thanks Kia.
