I gonna buy a team car plate...
Thanks,
Coach...
Let's get back to our conversation now.
Does anyone have any news on the 2005 model? Seems scarce as far as I can tell. What do you folks know?
I do have two question - I bought a 2004 Pearl White loaded, including the cargo net for the trunk. There are no instructions, and I can't figure out where it is supposed to attach to. Ant help would be appreciated. I know i can ask the dealer, but if it is simple I would prefer to hear it here. Second question - when did you get your first oil change? 600 miles? 3,000 miles? 7,500 miles?

No, I haven't seen or heard of the new ones coming out yet.
If I recall, I changed my oil at 6000 miles, but in retrospect I should have done it at 3000. I think the manual suggests 6000 or 7500 miles. (I don't feel like running out to the garage and read the owner's manual -so I'm going by memory). I now have 16,600 miles and going strong.
I did put in synthetic oil as I think its better.
Hope this helps!

I noticed so many safety items Amanti has it is truly remarkable. The car is absolutely loaded with safety and luxury items and costs so much lower than it's worth, IMO. Enjoy your Amanti and post in here your Amanti "journal" if you don't mind.

I confess, my first purchase after getting the car was clear foot mats and a clear matt for the trunk as well. I couldn't stand the thought of messing up those nice floor mats... :>)

I am back , but happy at this time I have seen several amatis around my city...
Actually two days ago ,
We were 3 Amantis stopped waiting for the green ligth...in Commecial Blvd, Fort Lauderdale....Pufff...
Now..I have not complain , I love my car...
See ya...
A 'problem' with quiet cars is, that you can hear things that would never be heard if it were a louder environment. Does yours sound like this? Or is it more pronounced?
I do not want to imply that I'm unhappy, as I still love this car. Still...this has bothered me on occasion.
Just curious, do you have the moonroof, too?

bye now..
I'm thinking they're gonna hit more of mainstream America eventually. It's kinda like Hyundai and Kia...America takes a long while to appreciate the best products. Some never do, which is why we have to endure Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Usher, GM, DCX, Ford, Subaru, Crapalier's, Honda's, Nissan's, etc. Notice I didn't include Toyota or Scion, Hyundai or Kia in that list? Name a bland and faceless recording artist and people will buy it because their friends have bought it. The Truckers have real talent. Hey, since we're talking music...how come Foghat never made it into America's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I mean SHAME?
You Amanti owners enjoy your quiet rides and better acoustics. Do they feel anything like a 1968 Buick Le Sabre on the road? All I had to do was touch the gas pedal in my parent's '68 Le Sabre and that thing was off the block lickety-split! That car was powerful.

Just bought a Amanti last month. Great car.
I can't find out if you should reset the MPG when you fill up or just leave it alone. I am getting about 25 mpg when I check myself, but the read-out goes anywhere from 13 mpg to 24.4. Most of my driving is highway miles.
The noise that you folks are hearing is most likely coming from the front anti-sway bar bushings. Seems that they have a tendency to prematurely go dry. There's probably very little lubrication in there.
Try to lube the bushings and see what that does.
I tried that and it works for me.
I'm not a mechanic, but should be able to identify the anti-sway bars. What kind of lube do you use, and how do you apply it? Thanks.
I had my car in for service and they said two upper strut mounts were loose. They tightened them and said that would fix my clunk, but it didn't.
My suggestion to all of you turn on your back heater put an extra set of keys in drive around for an hour and then see if your keys are poker hot. Just remember not to put anything that could melt in there you will have a big mess. Please post if any of you have this problem also. Thanks Buff
