2005 Kia Amanti consumer reviews

I've had this car for awhile, and it hasn't given me many problems. There's only been a little bit of wear on the interior leather, and the hard plastic has been split in the front, so overall it's not the most sturdy car. However, it looks like a luxury car, and the interior is stylish enough to believe it. There's plenty of room in the trunk, and there is a ski rest to put longer pieces (skis/lumber) through a hole passing from the trunk to the front seats. There's plenty of cupholders and cigarette lighter ports as well.

Enjoyed driving this car. Lot of power and comfortable. Never thought I would buy a Kia, but worked out for my situation wonderfully.

I owned a 2005 Amanti and I had 178,000 miles on it before I gave it to my father-in-law. I never had any mechanical problems and the car drove just like new. My Amanti was top of line with all the bells and whistles and it was superb. I am now driving a 2013 Camry, and while it's nice, it can't hold a candle to my Amanti. I miss it so much!

I have a 2004 and it is luxury car in my opinion. I never thought I'd own a car like this. Most people think it's either a Jag or a Benz. A friend of mine said he drove one and the thought it had a smoother ride than his Mercedes. I have almost 80K miles on my car and will keep it til it won't go anymore and then buy a newer year. The price of these cars are shocking and I'm so disappointed they have been discontinued.

I am very pleased so with this car so far no complaints, I wish I had a sunroof, but that's still ok

I've been the first owner of this car and for years it has had no problems. For the price it is comfortable, engine is strong and reliable, and the only thing we've changed on the car were the front tires, which wore out, and replaced the battery twice. The OEM battery is trash. When you replace it, go somewhere other than the dealer. I would not have purchased this car but my spouse loved it on the test drive. I was skeptical but now many years later, the car is still running flawlessly and is marvelous. It's not a BMW or Lexus, but I paid $25k less than a BMW or Lexus and got many of the same features and upkeep that is far less expensive than the German and Japanese cars. Skeptical at first, with years of experience in this car under my belt, I am now a loyal Kia Amante advocate.

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!

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.
