Kia Motor Amanti owners have reported a total of 357 problems for their cars built in the 6 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Kia Motor Amanti. The 2005 Kia Motor Amanti cars have the most problems reported (123 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2009 Amanti | |
| 2008 Amanti | |
| 2007 Amanti | |
| 2006 Amanti | |
| 2005 Amanti | |

The following chart shows the 20 most common problems for Kia Motor Amanti cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's vehicle speed control (56 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's air bags (40 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Kia Motor Amanti of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Amanti model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Kia Motor Amanti model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Kia Motor Amanti is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
