2005 Kia Amanti review from North America
"I will not ever buy another Kia because of the repair issues and hassle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car started dying at stop signs and stop lights, lurching, they have had my car in the shop 3 times now in the last month, and are now stating they are going to replace the transmission.
4 weeks prior to that, I was not getting any gas mileage and they had to replace the injectors in the motor stating they completely closed off. I'm just waiting to see what is next???
General comments?
The overall car is wonderful. I really do enjoy the ride, it's a beautiful car inside and out, handles great.
But the service dept working on my car is terrible, and I'm just wondering does anybody else have these problems.
The warranty great, and you will need it, because you will pay for the car and be driving their rental/Enterprise cars more than you will see the car you're paying for.
