Kia's first foray into the entry-luxury market offers ample interior room and comfort, with restrained and fairly elegant styling, but with perhaps too soft of a ride. The Amanti comes powered by a 195-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine, which drives the front wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission that includes a manual-shift mode. Anti-lock brakes are standard, with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Brake Assist, traction control, and Electronic Stability Control optional. Also included are both front and rear seat-mounted side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Leather upholstery with heated front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a garage door opener are among the major standard features. Stability control is optional, and an optional equipment package includes a premium Infinity audio system with CD changer, trip computer with four-inch monitor and memory settings for the driver's seat and outside mirrors.
