2006 Kia Amanti review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had it for 4 months. The week after I got it the windshield washer fluid wouldn't work. I took it in and the little hose had come disconnected. It may have been like that when I purchased it... I hadn't tried it before then.
I have been noticing a clicking noise when I turn. I need to have this checked out.
I am most disappointed with the paint. It seems like the least little thing scratches it. I had a box that was in the trunk and while taking it out, I set it on the bumper while I closed the trunk lid. I now have scratch marks where the box was placed. I have several scratches in other places too. I have never owned a car that was so delicate.
General comments?
This car is very comfortable.
I get about 20-24 miles per gallon.
When it is clean, it sparkles!
Great manufacturer warranty. This was the deciding factor when we purchased it. I was leery of owning a KIA.
