A WINNER

Who cares about prestige when I get to have the last laugh? I had been looking to buy a used Jag S Type, a new X Type or Lexus GS300, but when I saw what the Kia offered (including price advantage) and after only 2 minutes into a test drive, there was no contest and 9 months after buying, am delighted with the car. A word of criticism however: there is understeer and the vehicle wallows a bit on tight curves.

Awsome car

The car rides like a dream. The sound system is incredible and the interior looks like a car costing at least twice as much. Coming almost fully loaded for under $25,000, people want to know where I got the money for such an expensive car. I just laugh an tell them I hit the lottery. Sweet car all the way around.

I've popped my hood and trunk for total strangers at the bank, stores and other places. People love this car.

Best deal I ever made in a car purchase. Great auto. Never had a problem. Only improvement would be better gas mileage which is not good.

A True Luxury car

I bought the car based on comfort, safety, and price. The exterior and interior is like a Jaguar, only better built. The body style and driving characteristics however are like a Lincoln Town Car. The Amanti is more enjoyable than "fun" to drive, and is not a good choice for someone seeking a sporty ride. Don’t be turned off because it’s a Kia either. The Amanti is far better than the Chrysler 300, Ford 500, Buick LaCrosse, and the new Toyota Avalon even if price is not a factor!

LOVE THIS AMANTI

The Amante appears to be constructed extremely well, it has 4 wheel disk brakes with ABS - the suspension is excellent so the ride is very smooth. The sensation of speed is almost undetectable partly due to variable power steering. Tires are rated at 130 mph which offers peace of mind at highway speeds. The airbags, total of 8, offer protection I have not seen in even other luxury cars. Also impressed with the alignment of sheet metal and the cars exterior finish (paint job). We have the silver color and very rich in appearance. Car seems to be very well enginered - I was impressed.

No problems, smooooth ride, heads turn, people ask what it is. Can't believe that KIA has a car like this. Can't believe that I am saying this - KIA has a customer for life. Too bad domestics can't have this quality for this price.

The car rides very good, comfortable and quiet. It has enough power for me. The only drawback is mileage, about 21 overall.

This is a fabulous car. It's a real eye-catcher. When I first began to drive it, I felt like I was floating. I've only had one problem and that was with the right strut collar. Kia has the part on order and said this was a problem with most Amanti's. It's been over a month and the part still hasn't come in. Gas mileage is not good. Great vehicle with excellent warranty.

Smooth quiet ride with luxurious roomy interior. The handling and turning radius is excellent. The storage is adequate and the pass through is a plus.
