Happy, But Not PERFECTLY Happy

Contrary to some, I don't find the suspension loose or "floaty." The brakes are a bit too grippy for me. The ride's wonderfully pleasant, would be dead quiet if the air intake wasn't so loud. Posh enough, but cheap very scratchable finish on the interior glossy bits. Wish it had a compass; Love the computer and gobs of great gadgetry otherwise. Happy with accelleration, at the stoplight and for passing, don't mind the lessor V6. Love the front end, back end cloys, though I think the trunk's my favorite feature -- HUGE. CD changer slow loading. horn pathetic. blind spot in front. Saftey top notch. Eight way seats, but haven't got comfortable on long trips.

We have owned this car for about 2 weeks and have just wonderful things to say about. The car looks and feels like many upscales models of other manufacturers. Very luxurious interior, not to mention a smooth, quick ride. Great value for the money and with the long term warranty you cannot go wrong. Kia has proven themselves are worthy competitor with this car!

First Impressions of a 2005 Kia Amanti

After a year of research, I took delivery of a pearl white 05 Amanti a week ago. Since then I've put about 300 miles on the clock. The car's got an amazingly comfortable ride, has a vast and beautifully detailed interior, and has plenty of power for normal circumstances. It has everything from heated rear seats to automatic wipers. I'm especially impressed by the silence inside the car, by the comfortable seats, and by how easy it was to get used to driving it. It has excellent visibility, a commanding driving position, a very tight turning circle, and is very easy to get into and out of. For less than a loaded Camry, it's an unbeatable bargain with lots more bells and whistles.

This car is for the money the best buy. We are extremly satisfied and are considering buying a second Amanti. It gives a feeling of comfort, safety and luxury. I can honestly recommend this car. We also love the styling.

The Amazing Amanti (Be Amazed!)

This is a refreshing change from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda and Mitsubishi, (and I've owned them all in the past) . The ride is fantastic and I cannot began to tell you how many times people look at our black Kia wondering "that's nice!, what is it?" We're stopped all the time by friends, relatives, workmates, and folks we don't know asking about the car. Many people's first thought is that it is a new Mercedes, or Jaguar from the front or even a new smaller Lincoln Town Car from the rear. I have never had a car that has generated more interest than our 2004 Kia Amanti!
