When fully repaired this will be a great mid-sized luxury sedan for a new driver or someone looking for a little luxury on a budget. 

The Good:

Brand new battery
Wood inlay in dash and interior
Leather seats
Dual power seats
Dual climate control (ac blows cold)
3.6L V6 with Automatic Transmission

The Bad
Although it has gone through necessary repairs since, it comes with a salvage title (carfax shows wreck in 09, has been driven as daily driver since that time)
199XXX miles
Radio works but is finicky about changing stations some days
Cosmetic Damage to inside door panels (not awful)


I have recently come into possession of a 2004 Kia Amanti. I need to get rid of it rather quickly as it is not my vehicle of choice and I don't want to keep paying insurance on it. Car was held in storage for a few months before it ended up in my hands. As such, it needs some routine maintenance (change oil, change filters, etc.), it also appears to need a new alternator to become a daily driver. I have driven it around for a few weeks now and it does fine when in gear and when given gas. Still in need of state inspection, and license plates as such I wouldn't recommend driving away in it. Car is sold as is where is and buyer is responsible for shipping if not a local pickup.

Superman-themed Kia Optima Hybrid definitely not faster than a speeding bullet

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Justice League of America's garage is filling up quickly, with Kia and DC Entertainment unveiling its sixth of eight super hero-inspired vehicles at the Chicago Auto Show today. The vehicles are being used to raise awareness for DC Entertainment's "We Can Be Heroes" giving campaign.
The latest Kia to get the super hero treatment is the Optima Hybrid, which draws on the almighty Superman for inspiration. We're not sure what to make of this thing, honestly, as neither Clark Kent nor Kal-El would be caught dead in it (unless it's got the optional Kryptonite seatbelts, of course). Rather, this looks like what we imagine a Superman fanboy would construct if given carte blanche to ruin an Optima Hybrid. The actual design and construction were handled jointly by Kia, DC Entertainment and Super Street magazine.
We'll let the pictures do the talking in terms of what modifications were made since they're all cosmetic. That is, no mechanical mods were done to make the Kia Optima either faster than a speeding bullet or more powerful than a locomotive (shame).

Kia's second Super Bowl commercial lets booth professionals have their revenge

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

This is more like it, Kia. After last year's highly successful Adriana Lima-infused Super Bowl commercial for the Optima, we weren't that impressed with this year's Super Bowl ad for the new Sorento called Space Babies that Kia showed us earlier in the week. Its second spot for this year's big game, however, gave us a chuckle.
Called Hotbots and starring Miss USA Alyssa Campanella as a futuristic robot, the ad plays out a fantasy that we know for certain has crossed the minds of many booth professionals. These are the attractive set of women and men who plant themselves next to new cars at auto shows. More than just eye candy, they're usually extremely well educated on the product's specs and features. Despite that fact, they have to put up with constant oogling and questions like, "Do you come with the car?" What this T-1000 won't put up with is fingerprints on her shiny new 2014 Kia Forte, and she does something about it. Watch for yourself below.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
