2008 Kia Amanti (continued)
|
|
|
Summary
The 2008 Kia Amanti is a worthy alternative among family sedans. It's compact on the outside, big on the inside, and it is loaded with standard features and amenities, all at aggressive prices. The engine has big, smooth power; the car is whisper-quiet on the road; and the suspension is near-luxury in its ride quality. Combine all those attributes with a superb warranty, free roadside assistance and the possibility of an honest 24 miles per gallon, and the Amanti is a real contender.
