love it.

It's 2023 and my husband is the car guy. What he doesn't instinctively know, he learns from a friend. What a friend can't show him, YouTube can. What YouTube can't, a good mechanic can fix. The car had a lot of wear and tear, first from being a Hertz car, then from our use since 2007. Naturally things go awry with age, but our Amanti will stay in the family as long as he can keep this JaguaBenz purring. We have used the car for business and our usual trips about town and on vacation. Seriously, my favorite part of the Amanti is the ability to have dual heat/AC, AND heated seats.

El mejor auto que he tenido

Este auto es el mejor que he tenido. Es muy lujoso y no le pide nada a los autos de lujo de su tipo, superó totalmente mis espectativas

Sleek Design, Smooth Ride!

Most sexy and functional car I've ever owned. Sun roof was awesome, 4 charging ports, and even had a cassette player, and a 5 CD changer player. Lots of leg and headroom and the trunk was huge.

very well maintained, no major problems

Great family car, spacious, comfortable, smooth riding. Well styled interior. Plenty of power. Used for both business and recreation. Very low mileage for a 2005 and all service up to date.

I love this car and I absolutely hate to sell it.

It's loaded with power, comfort and beauty! If you are looking for a front wheel drive car that's reliable and runs great in all weather conditions this is it. If I pull this ad. I will continue to drive and ask for more at a later date and if it doesn't sell, I am fine with that.

Ignored all reviews and glad I did

After reading bunch of negative reviews about this model I reviewed the carfax and seen it was not only well cared for but items reviewed about were fixed already. I bought it for $6400 otd with 60,000mi on it and it drives like a brand new car. Currently have 84,500 on it after 1 yr and 4mo. Being 6'3" tall head room isnt there but reclining the chair a bit helps. Other than that I dont regret my purchase!!

Best car I've owned!

My rating would actually be 4.9 as only to minor things I'd change. 1) passenger air bag light always on when no one there. 2) Electric key lock frequency very close to side mirrors. Have to fix every time I use the remote. Mine has AM/FM, Cassete Tape, CD payer and love it. No major problems in the 12yrs. I've owned it. Wish they con't. to make them.
