Asian styled interior/ European exterior
A beautiful car from an up and coming brand. definatly worth taking a closer look at for someone that likes a quiet, comfortable, and safe automobile. It's basically a nice riding box with the look of mercedes, Bentley, and jaguar slaped with the name KIA!
Love this car!
We loved the Amanti as soon as we test drove it. Got a great deal for all the bells and whistles. Comfort is exceptional. The AC is terrific with climate control for the driver and passenger as well as back seat. The sound system is awesome. We were looking at new Bonneville/Grand Prix but purchased an Amanti. Head room, with a sunroof great for a 6'3" person. Head hit the sunroof of the Grand Prix.

A key from a man
This attractive automobile was a present. It drives smoothly and can handle curves. The seats are comfortable and recline to accomodate everyones needs. This car accomodates single drivers or MOM's with kids. The The stereo system is awesome. The car is very detailed. You must spend hours driving it to experience it's full potential. The instruction manual is very long but anyone with basic knowlege can figure it out. There's lots of extra ammenities that one may never use but it's nice to have them if you desire.
price is right
what can i say this car is by far more than i ever expected, i get stopped every day with someone wanting to look inside or commenting on the looks of it,
Cadillac Luxury - Kia Price
I bought a cobalt blue Amanti with every available option. It is a gorgeous, classy car and I have all the toys that would have cost twice as much in any other luxury vehicle. I marvel at how Kia did this for the price I paid. I shopped a long time and drove a lot of vehicles before I picked the Amanti, and it is without doubt the best value for dollar on the market today. It drives like a dream and the payments don't cause nightmares.
Awesome Ride!!
awesome ride fellas, the best fit I have ever found for a tall man, and, leg room behind me too!!!
KIA Amanti
Great car! Looks good! Interior is very nice with just about all the bells and whistles a person could want. Exterior is not flashy but very nice and impressionable. Power is not overwhelming but acceptable.
great car for the price
I traded in a 99 Caddy Catera. Wont go back to the Caddy, because this car gives me luxury without the high price. I love the look and feel of it. The dual climate control is wonderful. The outside looks like a very expensive car, and the leather seats are so comfy and roomy. This car is going to hurt the competition, because of the price and features it has. I love this car.
Best Car Ever
This car is amazing! I never thought I would be able to afford a car with such luxury and comfort unless I forked over 80,000 dollars. I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I get from total strangers wanting to know where they can get one. I do know that after driving this car, there is no way I could bring myself to buying anything else.
Amanti Lover
I have owned this vehicle for four years and cannot say enough good things about the Amanti. The way it looks, the way it drives, the comfort of the interior are all comparable to a luxury sedan at a more affordable price.
Great Car
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.
My Amati
Just got my Amati and it is a car I love to drive. It rides very smooth, and is very, very quiet. Have no regrets getting this car.
Bye Lincoln, Hello Amanti
I reciently traded in my Lincoln Continental for a new Amanti and I love it. The style in younger and more updated than any other car in it's class and it has all the aminities that my Linclon had. The price was excellent and it came fully loaded. It drives like a dream with good pick-up, turning radius and comfort. For the price you can't beat it and the 5 year bumper to bumper coverage makes it worth trying something new and exciting.
Best Kept Secret
The Kia Amanti is easily the best kept secret in the automotive industry. This is the quietest car made. The engine has plenty of power and coupled with the five speed automatic provides good fuel economy too. The ride and cumfort easily matches the top of the line automobiles such as BMW and Lexus for a price that is unbelieveable. Buy this car and you won't be sorry. The Koreans have proved that they can match the quality of anything made in Japan, Germany or the good 'ol USA.
KIA AMANTI38671
It is definitely a luxury car without the luxury price tag. It handles beautifully and with all the air bags it has, I feel quite safe in it.
Very pleased purchaser
Wanted a full size vehicle with a mid- sized price, found it with the Amanti. Enjoy the comfort, ride and experience with this vehicle more than previously owned. Very good value for the price.
Amanti
Excellent car for the $'s
this car gets the job done
one word - fabulous
Jaguabenz Car
I was looking for a unique, stylish car with a great drive and ride. The Amanti accomplomplishes all of this plus much more. Most people initially think it might be a Jaguar with a Mercedes Benz flair. Toss in a little bit of Lincoln Town car and you end up with one fashionable vehicle.
Sleeper of the year
Lots of luxury for a reasonable price. Definately worth a look see.
Big Rollin
Overall the car is a winner, The style is excellent, the ride is very good, it has a big car feel, I wish the engine was a bit more powerful, however, that dosen't take away from the performance I have enjoyed thus far. I have the optional leather package - the only way to go.
you have to try this car
great handling sound system is the best i've ever heard highway driving is quite and very comfortable
Best kept seceret in luxury car division
I rented an Amanti from Enterprise and could not believe the quality and ride of this vehicle. I even offered to purchase the one I was renting on the spot. Tuesday October 26, I bought a used siver on with all the options but the rear heated seats and traction control. The car rides like a $50K plus automobile. I agree with the other reviewers that the styling does turn heads. The car just floats down the highway. Excellent car for the money.
great auto
drive one and you will fall in love with whith this fine auto.It is powerful quiet and very easy to handle.I would rate it with Cads Jags Mersadies or better.
great auto
my first car not of american manufacture. I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this auto. I also have received many compliments about the design. My last auto was a Lincoln Continental and this auto is every bit as nice and comfortable as the Lincoln. I would not hesitate to buy another Kia.
Great car !
Love the size, and the quiet ride this car gives!
Kia Amanti
This is my second Kia. Previously owned a Sedona that I traded in on the Amanti. No regrets at all. The build quality is excellent. Ride and noise levels are superb, the Infiniti sound sytem is wonderful and the leather interior is top notch. With around 6000 miles driven so far the car seems to be performing better and the mileage is improving to an average of 20 mpg in town and 25 on highway. I would highly recomend this vehicle to anyone looking for an affordable luxury car.
Awsome Ride!
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!
The Amanti is the Premium
The Amanti is a well put together sedan with a lot of extras. It handles well and the fuel economy is acceptable, 25+ on the hwy @ 65-70 MPH. The warranty certainly supersedes any other vehicle in its class. Everyone thinks it is a Mercedes or Jaguar, it is a great car to drive. I also think it is priced very reasonably.
Just Plain Smart!
With this car its a "win Win Situation" Great price for LUXURY! You get all the bells whistles and luxury for SEVERAL Thousand less than LEXUS, BMW and Jaguar plus you get a 10 year Warranty! The leather is SUPERB and the Styling Elegant! Can you hear me now! Buy one its worth every penny!
Quality, Looks & Unbelievably Priced
one of the quietest, smoothest rides I have experienced, bar none. I do not know how Kia can sell an auto of this quality for the asking price, but I am glad to be one of the first year model owners. People ask what kind it is and comments are always favorable. Big car style, Mercedes-look headlights,LOTS of chrome including front grill. Interior has wood trim & optional leather pkg. Very lg trunk w/full sized matching tire & wheel. Sideview mirror even angles down when backing up to avoid anthing on ground behind car. Beautiful full mats standard. Adjustable front & rear headrests. 20-23 MPG. I LOVE THIS CAR!
My new Amanti
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.
Beautiful Car Excellent Value
My car is outstanding. I have been stopped a red lights, gas stations and shopping, with people saying how beautiful my car is and asking what is it. Many time I have been asked if it was a Benz or Jag.
AWASOM!!!!
I purchased it a week ago...it is beautiful car...i have no doubt about its quality...the interior is soooo nice...it is compotable!!! it is like a one of luxuary car...I love the price...it is worth like Toyota Avalon...but its price is several thousand less than Avalon...
Quite a nice car!
I own a Carbon Gray Amanti, (leather, sunroof, etc.), and as most others, I love it! People don't seem to know what to make of it. At first I thought styling looked a little odd, -now I absolutley love it. I have yet to see another one on the road, which makes it exclusive (for now at least).
Best for your money
I am 51. Bought with all options. Great car for the money! The competion does not come close (after looking seriously for 3 months.) Rank with entry level Jag or mercedes at half the cost. Bought after owning a BMW, Jag and 3 Cadillacs. Well kept secret!
You Gotta Drive This Car
Kia has produced an impressive large car that rivals anything in its class, and other classes as well. I drove nearly 45 different makes and models over a 3 month period before settling on the Amanti. I have not been disappointed at all. I think this car over time will be viewed as a breakthrough vehicle, and if Kia manages to improve on it, the world will soon see a new standard for a luxury automobile.
Very Satisfied
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!
Would still buy it again
Purchased March 1, 04. Since then I have had to return to the dealer to have the right front strut tightened, new carrier bearing, new transmission, new radio, to have the computer reset, and to pick up a new trunk light bulb. I currently have strut coller's and bushing's on order. But, with all this, the car handles as good as any I've had, and this is #79. This car will get you looks, nice smiles and not once has anyone said anything bad after seeing everything it offers. Got $25,000? Offer the dealer $23,000 and drive it home. Power everything, great radio, leather, dual heat/air-power outside mirror's that tilt down in reverse. What else could you want?
Me and my Kia
I Love my KIA. It is very easy to handle and fun to drive. I used to own a Lincoln town car. The Kia Amanta Is very comfortable and surronds me with luxury. It is easier to drive than the Lincoln.
Guilty
I like it I wish I could buy american but I didn't We have 4074 miles on it and so far it's great Traded a LHS with 13500 on it WE WILL SEE when it has that.
Kia Amanti Rocks
Our Amanti is a very comfortable car that has very quiet interior and contrary to other reviews, all the acceleration we need in a car. We have received numerous compliments and "looks" every time we stop for gas.
near perfect
The fit and finish are second to none every bit as good as any mercedes or bmw. The smoothness of ride and handling are top notch, and interior room is spacious as well as comfortable. The amenities offered,in relation to the price of this vehicle make it anextremly good value.
comfort, styling, safety
My Amanti is such a pleasure to drive. It handles excellently, and is so luxurious. I think also that it is a really safe car. I just love it.
Pleasantly Surprised
THIS CAR REALY SURPRISED ME! PEOPLE STOP ME AND ASK WHAT KIND OF CAR IT IS, AND WHERE CAN THEY GET ONE. ITS EVERY THING I NEED IN A CAR AND MORE.
Amanti-the auto world's best kept secere
It rides and handles like a Lincoln TC should. 5 speed trans works well with the 200hp engine and accelerates as well as my previous car..Chrysler 300M that was rated at 250hp. Comfortable..lots of rear leg room...great audio
Amanti is great
This vehicle for the price is a nice comfortable yet sleek and stylish. It is great for long rides very comfortable. I get a lot of compliments on mine
great car
i think it a very good car for the price range. very stylish ,people always turning their heads asking question. i just love the carso many ican't just pick one . i like the look
2004 Kia Amanti by Bob Gum
I bought my Amanti in May 2004. I am very satisfied with everything except the noise generated underneath the car on city streets. It could be sound insulated better to aleveate this noise distraction. It is very distracting. However, on the highway, it is very quite. In fact it is one of the quietest cars I've ever driven on good roads. The wind noise is almost non-existance. The fit & finish is excellent. The gas mileage is a decent 25.5 MPG on the highway. The seats, both front & rear are very comfortable. It could use a little more horsepower but I highly recommend this vehicle. It is an excellent value for your dollar.
Kia's in Trouble
I looked at the first one to arrive in Omaha. Looks like very limited numbers will be getting to the dealers this year, expect to pay window or above. Major mistake in my opinion, as I would have purchased if they were pricing like their sister car, the XL350. As it is, more expensive than a similiar Buick or the Hundia XL 350, close to an Avalon in actual exit the door price. A nice car, very roomy, but price and quanity are going to make this a hard one to buy.
