I have been very disappointed. The first week of ownership I needed two tows in Florida. I immediately purchased a new battery when stranded a second time. The seats are rock hard and the seat belt buckle cuts into my hip. Then car had some kind of transmission burning and needed a transmission replacement. I was first towed and paid $300 to recover my car. I have to drive 80 miles to the closest dealer in upstate NY. After waxing the car about 4 times in 2 years the exterior paint job is looking shabby.The car always stalls out.The replaced transmission hesitates for 4 seconds and then jerks. It gets a horrible 11 to 17 mpg. The tires need replacing at 27,000 mile. The brakes need work now
Amanti vs Cadillac

I went from a Cadillac to an Amanti - a HUGE difference. The Amanti has a "fast" car feel when driving, hugging the curves. There are Cadillac comfort features that I miss: Armrest for the driver, side mirrors that stay set, outlets that work when the engine is off, and better available storage for the driver. The plus items for the Amanti would be: nice trunk, comfortable rear passenger sets, individual a/c settings, and the front passenger seat reclines. We did tint the windows and now the car looks 100% like a Jag - just needs the hood emblem. One service center actually thought it was a Jag until he saw the wheel coverings.

The typical Kia reliability is evident in the Amanti as well as in the other Kia cars I've owned over the past 11 years. Excellent value, absolute reliability. It's not a "performance" car, nor does it pretend to be. More than adequate power for "normal" driving.
Side Mirror Problems

I've had my 2005 Kia Amanti since 2006. The side mirrors have never worked. After complaining for a year the dealer ship installed a new motor, as I understand. that didn't do a thing!. If I use my Key and not the Key Fob the mirrors stay in place and don't move. I use my Fob and have to adjust my out side mirrors every time I get into the car.

This car was designed to impress the passengers more than the pedestrians. While the design will not win any awards, I like it because it has a stately look to it. Tall greenhouse, aggressive front end, impressive stance. It's a pleasure to drive as long as you don't expect to beat the Chrysler 300C next to you at the stop light. I traded a Caddy Seville in on this car. I like the ride and features in the Amanti better.
