CONS: lag and lurch problems with less than 5000 miles

REVIEW: Had a 2005 that had lag/lurch problems. Didn't think it was possible to get two - our 2006 is bad too. It's a danger to accelerate and not go. It's also dangerous to touch the accelerate and have it bolt. Some serious problems with this vehicle. Stay safe and drive carefully! ...

CONS: None so far

REVIEW: This car is the best car for the value. It is much more comfortable than European luxury sedans. ...

CONS: My new 2006 has lunging and lagging acceleration problems. Has been in the shop eight days

REVIEW: We are not able to use the car due to acceleration problems. Working with the state attourney general and KIA on a refund. Seems hundreds of folks around the country have had this probem. A real safety concern. Besides that it seems to be a real nice car. Hope the 2007 with the 3.8L engine is ...

CONS: shocks too soft, auto wallows in hard slow down turns, need to change timing belt

REVIEW: Have 2004 model, bought new, now have 38,000 miles; no problems to date; owned Q-45 prior to this auto - it is as smooth as Q-45 at less than half the price. My wife loves this auto! It gets 17 mpg in town and 24 mpg on highway. ...

CONS: poor gas mileage and too many defects.

REVIEW: transmission replaced at 13000kms (7800 miles) Speed sensor (2) replaced in a 2 week period. Computer faults which will be replaced this week. Poor trade-in value. Gas mileage averages 17 mpg city/hwy. Underpowered for weight of vehicle. More problems with this car than previous Nissan ...

CONS: 12 mpg city driving, lack of day-time running lights

REVIEW: The best car i have owned. 2 major concerns that may seem as nit picking but a car of this quality should have them: #1 day-time running lights. Canadian Amanti's have DRL but USA KIA will not put them on the American version of the car? This is a safety feature and i cannot fathom their ...

CONS: Uncomfortable arm placement on long drives

REVIEW: How can you protect your family better than 8 air bags??? I won't change anything on my Amanti!!! This is one of those cars that 20 years from now we'll be saying, "another car IA Classy Classic had that I miss was a 2005 Kia Amanti",Man those were the days. ...

CONS: ONLY neg- gas mileage is 17-20, but it's a heavy car

REVIEW: My wife and I had two MB420SELs for 200,000+ miles each, but after 17 years, we figured it was time to buy a new car. Gave one of the 420s to my youngest son, and sold the other. Sad to see them go, as they were great cars. BUT..the new ones look like Toyotas, so when When I first saw the ...

CONS: None as yet

REVIEW: I just traded in my SUV (finally) for a sedan. This car is the bomb! I am so impressed by the quality and design of the interior. Leather, heated seats (can't wait for winter now!), Infinity 6-disc CD (great sound quality) and beautiful wood-grain accents. Also, a very smooth, even ride with ...

CONS: No in dash GPS nav. Cup holders could be a little more spaced apart.

REVIEW: We loved it so much we bought a second one. If you were to take the imenities of this vehicle couple that with the performance and then add the warranty you'd send much much more on any other vehicle. I have had my vehicle in for warranty once and absolutey no hassle whatsoever. Lee Iacocca ...
