Great power for a car that price and hosepower. 1st gear power is great. Exterior design is ok. Interior is great. Seats are wonderful with a lot of space. The heated seats burn my buns. It's sooo slient I don't even know the car is running when it is. A little too bouncy though. More than a Towncar I think! So can't make those fast turns without feeling like you're about to roll over. Would not spend $30,000 for a new one but this would be a great buy to get a one year old one. I've seen some for $15,000 for an '04 with 8,000 miles.

Bought Optima for my son and was very impressed with quality and warrenty. Thirty days later we bought the Amanti because of the styling, price, quality and excellent warranty. This car is fun to drive, extremely comfortable...especially the back seat (used as a limo in Korea). This car turns heads in the USA...guys are draw to the styling and love the interior. Has all the bells and whistles for $10,000 less than the competition.

A very nice vehicle with a lot of features for a good price. It turns a lot of heads. Some have compared its looks to a Mercedes & Jaguar.

I am very pleased with this vehicle, it rides well and is extremely quiet when driving on the highway. The sound system is excellent and the interior room is perfect. I've owned Mercedes for 20 years and don't see any reason to go back.

No good on GAS at all

Overall I love the car, however it is not good on gas at all. I get maybe 12MPG. For that reason alone I do not like my car. I thought that I would get at least 15 city, 21 highway. I get maybe 12 city and 18 highway. I'm not happy at all with that. I have meet other people with this car and they tell me the same thing.

Terrific value! Contemporary looks, plush interior, and all of the right options. I call it my Asian Limousine. Performance and ride are like a limo. You have to drive it like one.

Excellent ride. Smart styling. Good fit and finish inside and out. Leather seats are firm and comfortable for a big driver. All the doors open wide.

This is our poor man's Jag. We both like it, only my wife not real crazy about the need to shift to the overdrive.

We owned two Sedonas and were pleased with the safety styling and value when the Amanti was introduced. We purchased one with the optional electronic stability control. The performance has improved as it was driven. When new it didn't accelerate very well. It is now "hard to hold down!" We have owned a couple of Lincolns and this auto compares very favorably.
