My wife and I were looking at cars to replace our Lincoln LS we gave our son for graduation. When my wife saw this new 2008 left over Amanti she said "let's drive this one". The sticker was $32,000 with every available option so I told salesman we didn't want to spend so much. He said "BIG discounts" so I said ok let's drive. My wife and I both loved what we saw and drove so we went home with it. We now have about 6,500 miles and am very happy with our purchase. We are getting 27.5 mpg on highway and are averaging 23.5 overall driving. We have had no problems with the car and plan to drive it till the wheels fall off.

Purchased this vehicle in January this year. Had problem with it from the star. Right front tire/wheel bounces/flutter/surges at all speeds but the best part is that the font end shimmies @ 70 mph. Dealer worked on it all they could but corporate said it was operating "as designed" whatever that means. Filed Lemon law complaint with no help there. Will have to drive it until the wheels fall off. Other than that I love the car!

Don't Think I would buy another one

The car is alright, but don't think I would spend $30K to buy another one. I have the loaded, leather and all the bells and whistles. Originally when I purchased, I was driving 50K miles a year and wanted some car around me on the highway, now that I only drive 12K - 15K, I don't like the car nearly as well. I will look for another car which is smaller, has all the bells and whistles and gets better than 20 mpg
What a Steal!

2007 Kia Amanti 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 5A)

Purchased used with 22,000 miles and loaded with leather, sunroof, alloys, etc. For the used owner car comes with 6 yr/60K full warranty. If you are looking for a BMW this is not your car, but if you want a Towncar-like ride on the interstate this is it. Lexus-quality interior, massive trunk and back seat, extremely fast, so quiet you won't hardly know it is running. I am getting 25 MPG with 80% highway, 20% city, far better than I expected for the size and speed the car offers. The car is a little quirky looking, but you don't see many and it sticks out in the crowd. Also, front-wheel drive and handles like a tank in the snow.

I purchased a pewter beige Amanti with leather package (tan interior), ESC/safety package, 17 in. wheels and sunroof. After seeing an article online about the Amanti's redesign for 2007, test driving one was a relevation. I seriously shopped the Amanti vs. the Azera and a couple of other nice sedans, and the Amanti won. This car is an amazing value. I am continually being blown away by the quality and features. The quick power and smoothness of the ride are truly a delight. I'd say this car, for 2007, is the biggest hidden secret on the U.S. market, since Kia is not doing any advertising that I can see.
