Kia Cadenza - A wonderful combination of features and luxury at a very affordable price point.
The Cadenza is a wonderful choice for someone who wants the luxury and comfort features typically found in high end European sedans at a very affordable price. I travel frequently between offices in Tampa Bay and South Georgia and the Cadenza is a wonderful vehicle for highway driving. My commute is typically 3 1/2 to 4 hours each way and I can make the trip without arriving fatigued. Fuel economy is good for the size of the vehicle with the 6 cylinder engine and the vehicle has plenty of power for interstate driving and passing. Kia Certified Pre Owned vehicles are a great value and they provide excellent professional support after the sale. I switched from a BMW to Kia with this Cadenza being my 3rd consecutive Kia and 2nd Cadenza. I can say without hesitation that my next vehicle will be another Kia.

That it's mine and i love driving it
I love the V6 engine and the horsepower. I love how big my car is and tea room to fit large people. Love the split moon/sun roof.

The protective boi of my great car.
I just love this car, its durable easy to drive as well. There are no issues with it whatsoever. Whenever I sit in the car I feel comfortable and protected knowing it will get me from one destination to the next. I would recommend this car to any person who is struggling with transportation.

Kia cadenza: so reliable!
It's an amazing car. I have no issues besides the sunroof occasionally rattles. It drives good, has infinity speakers, seat coolers and heaters and is large enough for my family. I love it. There's a reverse camera, heated steering wheel, and touch screen radio. It is a reliable car and when I bought it, had very few miles on it.

Get good gas mileage and is a very good car.
Very classy and beautiful it rides so smooth. I love my car I get so many compliments it is a unique color that is nothing I dislike about it.

Safe, affordable and luxurious vehicle.
Very comfortable with a touch of luxury. If you have the added packages, it just takes the car to another level. One thing I would complain about is the sunroof rubber lining is not very durable, but is an easy fix. I really enjoy how spacious the car is. I am 6ft, and have no issues sitting/laying in the back (if I wanted).

Nice looking car. Like the button start. Controls are easy to operate.
I have had no problems with my Kia. It is a very comfortable car to ride and drive. It is my favorite car that I have ever owned. If I was in the market to buy another car Kia cadenza would be my first choice. It has been a very reliable vehicle. I feel like I am in a safe car.

Kia cadenza- affordable luxury.
I love my cadenza, smooth ride, good control, good gas mileage, definitely has some speed to it, inside is very nice, I feel like I am driving a very luxurious car. The only problem I have had is with the sunroof, the lining keeps getting caught underneath when its goes down but hasn't caused any leaking issues, this is the 2nd time it's happened but other than that the car is amazing and very glad I bought it.

Bad sun roof
Had my KIA 2015 Cadenza for 5 years now. Last week there was a bang so loud I ducked. Pulled over and found nothing amiss. Yesterday it rained. I got in my Kia, pulled the sun visor down and got a lap full of water. Examining the sun roof, the front narrow panel had multiple cracks and gouges of the panel missing. I now find out this is an ongoing problem with the Kia 2015 Cadenzas

Technology lover? This car has it ALL... Everything you could ever want, (and may not even know how to use).
I like the cameras, especially the one that allows me to see that I'm parking correctly between the lines. The ride is very nice—— smooth. I don't like that there is no windshield wiper on the back window, and that the seat doesn't go back far enough. I don't like the GPS. It's too complicated. I use my phone. I like the opening in the back seat, so I can carry long items. Bluetooth is totally unnecessary and I don't need or know how to use it. I wish it had a real ignition, with a hole for a key. As I said, I really love that top camera.
