"The people at this car lot were very honest and to the point. The didn't want my money, but the did just want to earn my business. If you add that to a great car, price and service. SOLD. They got me. Check em out, they'll probably put you in a great car too."

"I first drove an Amanti when Enterprise upgraded my car reservation going to my college reunion. I'd never heard of it, but my son and I fell in love. When it came time to buy a new car we test drove one again and tried many other cars in the same price range and always came back to the Amanti. I'm only sorry they are no longer being made. I've never had an issue with it besides buying new tires as I drive 90+ miles to work each day. I plan on driving her till she drops! So comfortable and so luxurious without the ridiculous sticker price. I've always gotten looks and compliments on the exterior as well. Just love the car."

"I bought my 2005 Amanti used in 2006 and love it!!! I am getting 23 to 25 mpg street and over 30 mpg on the hwy and this is 5 years later! People are always asking me about my Amanti and I can only rave about it. My mechanic is totaly impressed! My sister, who only drives Mercedes, swears it had to have been built by Mercedes! I love the comfort, reliability and handling of my Amanti and look forward to another 5 years with this vehicle!"

Better milage than EPA says

"I put over 50,000 on my 2005 Kia Amanti and the milage is about 21 MPG in town and 27-28 on the highway at about 70-80 MPH. More power than I could ever need. Uncomfortable arm rest positions. The 8 airbags in this car make me feel very protected on the highways. There is no better way to take care of your friends and family."

"Tell you the truth I never ever thought about buying a Kia. Don't know much about Kia at all. But let me tell you I just bought one. The dealer I went to said I should try the Amanti which I was hestitant. But I test drove the car and I was very impressed with the ride. It rides great and has all the toys of those expensive cars. My uncle and father both have bmw 750 and mer sl500 and they were impressed with this car also. Not to mention my car payment is a lot less than theirs. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone."

"I bought mine about two years ago; it was a year old then. It's awesome. Stylish, comfortable, reliable, roomy. The backseat is huge and the trunk is huge. I gave a ride to a friend with an E class Mercedes who said my car was just as comfortable, much larger on the inside and he liked the faux wood trim. And he paid how much??? Did I say roomy? My 6'2" son is quite comfortable in the back set. Only gripe: the mirrors tilt back when you go in reverse which is great for seeing the lines in a parking space or a curb, but they don't always return to their original position -- I'm constantly making minor adjustments to the side mirror. Other than that, A+ car. I'll buy another."

"I purchased this car two weeks ago. I never wanted a Kia. It's a car I never given thought to buying. After the test drive and the price, I said "this is it". It has all the features of a luxury sedan and some and I love it."

"Some cars are bulky, sluggish, or simply not fun to drive. The Amanti is not one of them. The Amanti is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever been in or driven. The engine and acceleration are great and can handle anything. I have reached 95 miles an hour sometimes and can't even tell, the ride is so smooth and the engine isn't laboring at all. The stereo also is amazing. Good quality sound and the 6 CD changer makes things really easy. Another great feature is the rear view mirror adjustment. When in reverse, if you indicate which mirror, the right or left rear view mirror will rotate downward so you get a good view of the curb and distances. Overall a GREAT car and extremely safe."

"We're retired senior citizens. We just love the comfort this car provides. It is so quiet---very little road noise and it soaks up the "bumps." It handles just fine as long as we're not racing a youngster! We purchased it used from a dealer a year ago at half the sticker, a very good deal. Runs like new. On a trip from Binghampton, NY to Newburgh, NY at an average speed of 58mph we got 27.7MPG! Wish it had a compass and delayed headlight off feature."

"We brought the car for our 17 year old dgh, because of the safety ratings. The price was great for car, a very comfortable drive - no matter where you sit. At first we thought it was too large for her, but she loves it and I worry less when she drives alone. The handling is very smooth and she is crazy about the sound system. We got her the black fully loaded model - sunroof, black leather seats, Infinty sound system, 6 CD changer inside dash, lighted mirrors, two center arm rests, large trunk space, child locks and other details that went great with the car. All in all a great buy - thanks Kia! CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELVES!"
