This car was ahead of its time with extras. Heated seats. 5 disc CD player. Power seats.

I absolutely love my Kia. I will have 130,000 miles on it. No major problems. My next car I buy will also he a Kia. I will keep driving this one until it can't go anymore

This is a great family car! We love it.

I love my Kia. It's a great family car but still is sleek and cool. It drives so well. We feel very safe in the car. The trunk in huge so we have plenty of space for trips and sport supply. We love how much leg room the car has. It's a great family car.

Smooth ride

Best riding long distance car ever!!! My 2008 Kia amanti has 240,000 kms and we have had very little problems with it! It's now 2019! Room for everyone no matter where you sit and comfortable!! Hard to look at other vehicles even though thinking of a newer ride. Very happy with it!!

It has great reviews and gas mileage.

I actually love my car it has plenty of room. It also is very dependable. The only thing id change is maybe the color.

Shane P

It's the perfect car for someone looking for luxury at a great price.

I like that it feels like a luxury vehicle but it cost a lot less than a luxury vehicle. The downsides are I've had some issues with the vehicle's electrical system which has caused some odd glitches to occur.

The interior is so comfortable

I love the interior of my car. I like that it is quiet. I like the smooth drive. I like the amount of room in it. I dislike how bright the low beams are, people mistake them for high beams

Shane D

It's a good luxury vehicle for those who are on a budget and can't afford to spend a lot.

It's the most luxurious vehicle you can buy for the price. However it has had some glitches in the electrical system which has been a bit of a pain.

Negative Owner Reviews

Jeremy R

It is getting a bit older now, but it does function decently as a family vehicle.

It has full amenities. It drives very smooth on the freeway. It has poor gas mileage.

Sandra R

Kia Amanti top of line Vehicle

My vehicle is very comfortable, reliable, has seat warmers, automatic seat recliner pushes forward or up and down and it's great on gas, 35.00 to fill her up, it's a 6 cylinder so picks up speed on the highway, comes with automatic door locks, and automatic windows, the side mirror adjust by themselves! The truck is very big and spacious! And has a middle openings so we can store long poles! And seats fold down!

Matt W

The car is very large. Has heated seats. Has leather seats. A new sunroof

The car is long and has a lot of great features that other cars do not offer. It also has a smooth ride and a good steering ratio. The car also has a lot of space in the back seat and offers great speakers. It could not be any better. I love it a lot and it offers such great things

Pros from Owners

Sean B.

Great safety rating. I was uninjured in a severe accident in that vehicle. Accelerates quick and stops well. Fairly decent gas mileage considering the size of the car and the V-6. There is no external antenna for the radio so local stations can be sketchy in rural areas.

Cons from Owners

Sean B.

No Sirius/XM radio, rear seats do not fold down to increase trunk space for oversized items. Seat leather on the 2008 is much thinner than the 2007. And there is an unknown rattle from the right front wheel area.
