 This 2006 Kia Amanti was a replacement for a 2005 Amanti which had many problems starting with a transmission that was replaced.  The dealer replaced the vehicle with the 2006 and from the very first day I experienced the same problems as with the 05 model with the addition of having the engine light come, intermittent lurching and lose of power.  The vehicle spent most of February at the dealership at which point I was offered a Mitsubishi in a straight trade, which was declined.  I am now in the process of arbitration to have the manufacturer buy back this vehicle as we do not have a lemon law in Canada.
