Opinions about Kia Amanti?

Stuff I've heard about them is that the engine is not powerful enough or sophisticated enough, and that it uses a lot of fuel. Also, its hard to find one with the skid control whatever setup they've got.

Resale is going to be horrid. And if they don't sell enough they will drop the model from the U.S.

Not sure what skid control would do, but the engine is one variable I had thought of. I have the same engine in the Sedona and it is good enough. I find it funny, however, that a DOHC engine with 1/2 liter more displacement than my Maxima has only 10HP better rating.

That is one concern. Maximas (Maximae?) are easy to sell. I keep tabs on what is listed in my area for the the '98 model. They seem to hold steady.

Thanks!

I've backed away from the idea. It seems nice, but the maxima is doing fine and I just put new tires on. I wouln't worry too much about resale (except for gap insurance) since I usually keep cars until they drop.
