Our Amanti

2005 Kia Amanti 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Although we have only had our Kia Amanti a few months, we love it and are very happy we bought it. The steering is so "light" and easy ... so simple to drive. Feels like a "luxury" car to me, but very affordable. The trunk is huge; very important to me. The interior is roomy, back seat comfy, and very attractive interior. Other reviews say it's slow on take off -- well, I find I must watch my take offs as it seems to really GO! Very easy to glide along on the highway and loose track of your speed. We think it's a beautiful car and so far, no regrets.

Smooth Ride

I really like the nice, smooth highway ride. The interior looks rich and controls work smoothly. I like the style of the roof, especially the rear. It's squared off, not rounded like all the rest.

What a bargain

I found this car by accident, drove it reluctantly, and fell in love. I make a good living and NEVER play keep up with the Jones type games.The exterior is kind of weird looking to my taste, but the interior is beyond first class I find it very responsive, good mileage, and a pleasure to commute in. If you're looking for a first class car, and want to save a lot of money, try the Amanti.

So glad I bought it!

How can you beat this car at this price! It rides great, is extremely comfortable and has all the features I wanted. I traded in a Lincoln Continental which was a great car but I'm glad I did. Love the Cream Gold color with the Black interior - it looks soooo rich. I work at a professional service firm and I can't believe how many people have made positive comments about my new sweet ride! Can't wait to have a reason to go somewhere. I open the moon roof, turn on the fantastic Infinity stereo system and I'm in heaven!

Best Car I've Ever Owned

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 I'm 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 I'll tell you like I tell everyone else "best car I've ever owned".
