Used 2005 Kia Amanti 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Tickled in Tacoma
Just purchased in July 2005. Looked around on the web and local dealerships for Nissan, Toyota, Mercury, Chevrolet, and Honda vehicles similar to this one. After researching and test driving, I decided on the Amanti. Couldn't be any happier, as it's a joy to drive. The salesman has contacted me three times since my purchase to ensure I was happy, and the dealership treated me like I was purchasing a car for twice what I did. The ride is smooth and quiet, and I bought a near-luxury car, not a sports car, so I don't expect it to drive like a Miata or Triumph. Very happy with the car and purchase experience. I would heartily recommend this car (and have!) to friends and family.
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!

My 6 Months with an '05 Amanti
This is the most comfortable riding car I've ever owned. It's extremely quiet, has every possible convenience feature, is easy to see out of, has a tight turning circle, has excellent workmanship and comes in at an amazingly good price. Frankly, I don't see any reason to spend more for a Camry or the same for an Accord both of which have fewer features and less comfort. The Amanti is a wonderful highway car and is ideal for smoothing out rough city streets as well. The interior is amazingly roomy and the heated rear seats, left and right temperature controls and rear A/C and heat are welcome to all passengers. Mine has been trouble free for over 5000 km and I love it.
Love my Kia Amanti
I got my Kia Amanti in Aug. '04 and have never been disappointed in it. I traded a Cadillac Catera for it, and I prefer the Kia. It is a great size car, handles well, and the price is right. I have had nothing done to it; other than oil changes and regular maintenance. It is a great car, and I will purchase another one in the future.
Kia Amanti
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.
