The 2008 Kia Amanti has a reasonable level of standard features, but the latest high-tech gadgets are nowhere to be found.

Edmunds reports the "2008 Kia Amanti sedan is available in just one trim level...standard features include 16-inch wheels, foglights, full power accessories, power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and an eight-speaker CD audio system." According to Cars.com, Kia Amanti "standard features include power front seats" as well.

Kelley Blue Book reports, "For the most part, the 2008 Kia Amanti options are offered in four packages." Choices include "an optional 4-inch display monitor with a trip computer and digital clock can supplement the center analog clock," according to Cars.com. Edmunds says that when you "opt for the Leather package...you'll get leathers seats, heated front seats, two memory settings for the driver seat, a trip computer and an upgraded Infinity sound system with a six-CD changer."

The list of options not offered on the Amanti is extensive: navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite and HD radio, and adaptive cruise control--all features found on some near-luxury models from other automakers.

Conclusion

The 2008 Kia Amanti has the basics covered, but in comparison, a midrange Honda Accord offers more luxurious features.

    There is only one full-size competitor that can match the 2008 Kia Amanti when it comes to value and its warranty; that would be the 2008 Hyundai Azera. Coincidence? The experts from TheCarConnection.com think not. Many automotive shoppers don't know that Kia and Hyundai are owned by the same Korean company. This makes for some interesting shopping possibilities, as the Hyundai Azera provides an outstanding value that wears a much more contemporary (and stylish) shape. Equipment levels, powertrains, and warranties are nearly identical between the two.
