Car Forum / Kia Cars / September 2004Amanti, my first Kia
Hello. With some trepidation I bought my first Kia last week, a cobalt blue Amanti. A lot of my decision was based on CR reccomendation of the XG350. The Amanti is a wonderful car. And I've owned a lot of cars, Saabs, Jeeps, etc. I would love to switch to synthetic oil sometime after it breaks in. Any thoughts ? -dave Dave, I am using Mobil One (the formula for new engines) in my Amanti and have not problems. It will not void your warranty. Did you get one with the sun roof and stabilization package?? Jim > Hello. With some trepidation I bought my first Kia last week, a cobalt blue > Amanti.

I'm just worried that the power isn't there.  Signaturekai - kai at 3gproductions dot com www.gamephreakz.com || www.filesite.org "friends don't let friends use windows xp" I find the power to be adequate in all respects. I always feel safe going up ramps and passing, though I do use the "sport mode" tiptronic type transmission some of the time. The engine does not sound eager when pushed, imo. but this is not the kind of car designed for high performance driving. The Maxima, I'm sure, has better dynamic characteristics. However, the Amanti has all the class (imo). Amazing I'd be saying this about a Korean car ! > Jim Goddard scratched out in the sand > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > I'm > just worried that the power isn't there. Thanks for the info on Mobil One for new engines, I've not heard of that variant. Yes I got the ESP and sunroof package ! > Dave, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> -dave
