Take a look. I cant believe im impressed by this car, but show me a better for $25k. I saw it drive by me today and at first thought it was a new mercedes. I mean, granted its no speed demon with a 200 HPO 6 banger, but it also has a 10 yr/ 100k warranty

kias seem like good cars to buy for a daughter or wife. I can't see a car guy wanting a kia though.

Its advertised here locally at 25k fully loaded.

With the way my wife beats on cars - the 100k warranty will get well used.

the kia design team is a bunch of ripoff artists. more than half their line-up looks like they took their cars directly off of lexus/mercedes lots.

Amanti has Mercedes headlamps & a Chrysler 300C grille. Rip off? Yes, but so what..it looks very nice IMO. Likewise the XG3500 Hyundai. Both nice cars!
VERY nice interiors, too.

its letting the po'folk think theyre driving something alot nicer than they are.

Maybe, but if you saw my wife drive, youd never spend much on a car for her. LOL.. Since weve been married shes had 2 outright accidents with other cars, backed into the garage, hit the neighbors house and backed into a fence post (taking the privacy fence out) and blown an engine. The funniest thing is ive never so much as scratched my cars, and she thinks she drives better then me!

Think im spending $50k on a car for her? YOUR NUTS!

u should snatch up that liscence of hers and burry it in the backyard.


Like she wouldnt drive if I did that. Besides, then she would be home all the time --- I'll pass.

The funny thing is she doesnt understand why I wont get her a big truck like a navigator or experition --- I keep trying to explain to her that I have a responsibility to other drivers. :)

Read a couple reviews on the Amanti. Write up in this months Car and Driver. They seemed quite impressed. They could not find any mismatched or gaps in the interior trim. And they admitted they looked HARD to find fault with the interior and could not. The were less impressed with the body roll. But they conced it was a luxury car, and not a sports sedan. No more roll than say a Lincoln Town Car. Overall they were impressed. And the warranty is a bonus.
