Used 2007 Kia Amanti Consumer Reviews
Dangerous to drive
The Amanti has severe problems with acceleration. The car will lunge forward or backwards when taking off. I have had the car in the shop many times and Kia says they are aware of the problem but does not have a fix. It was declared a lemon by the Arizona lemon law and replaced with a 2006 model Amanti. The 2006 has the same problems. Now I have to start all over again to try to solve the problem.
Dangerous KIA
I purchased this car six months ago and had it at the dealers three times in the first month. I complained that there was a problem with the transmission. When I would accelerate the car would lurch forward. I was at a traffic light and when the traffic light changed I accelerated the car lurched forward .I steered the car toward the sidewalk to keep from hitting the people in front of me. I hit a pole. The gas pedal stuck. This car is beautiful on the outside but dangerous mechanically.

Lemon
I have a run-away Amanti. It also stops for no reason, and all the bells and warning lights come on. Dealer can't duplicate problems, so thinks I don't have a problem. They have had it 5 times now, and the last time over a week. I don't feel safe driving this car, but doubt the dealer will replace it. I'm at the point where hiring a lawyer will be my next step. I'm really surprised with my State Farm insurance agent who seem unconcerned that the car takes off on its own. Love the comfort and ride, just can't trust the safety. Also the paint keeps chipping. Wonder if anyone else has these problems with the KIA Amanti?
Excellent
Great looking, handles well. Mileage could be a little better for a 6 cylinder. Overdrive could use a little improvement. Overall rating best bang for the buck and excellent warranty. Would recommend to everyone looking for a beautiful car with a reasonable price.
K's Amanti
This vehicle is a nice handling and riding car, but has a little too much herky-Jerky on acceleration.
