Smooth, comfortable ride with a plethora of features. I like having the option between sports shift and automatic, too. I was initially hesitant to look at a Kia (brand perception) but the cadenza has really changed my mind. I love the air conditioned/heated seats, heated steering wheel, double sunroof, retractable rear window sunshade and automatic side mirrors. The large, roomy trunk and spacious backseat are a real advantage too. Overall, the car looks like it cost a whole lot more than it did. The car was built for comfort and handling can be a bit sluggish - this is not a sports car. But it gives a nice ride and gets great gas mileage, especially on long road trips. My only criticisms (which might have been corrected in later models) are that there is more cabin noise than I'd like, especially when you are on a Bluetooth call and that I am constantly scraping the front end shield on parking space 'stops'.

Kia customer from here on.
Kia cadenza is best car I have ever owned. Luxury abounds in every feature and the quality is easily evident in the 10 year/100k mile warranty. I will be buying another Kia to replace this one when the time comes. Never worried about being stranded in this car!

Why the Kia cadenza is above the rest.
It is very comfortable, especially during longer drives, while having fairly small amounts of issues. Its performance is above most cars, and even allows for better gas mileage than most cars. On trips where I have to drive more than 200 miles, I am almost averaging 25 mpg.

Safe and comfortable cadenza.
My vehicle is great, has back up camera and all the technology that is needed to stay safe. I bought it because it was ranked high on safety as I have two kids and it has not let me down. It is extremely comfortable and roomy. I am 6'7" and I can sit in the back seat comfortably with head room.

Newer Luxury car styled sedan
It's a luxury style sedan. Very large backseat and nice interior. The backup camera is helpful along with the mirrors coming out and doors unlocking when the key is nearby. Good on gas mileage. Solid black color goes good with tan interior. Nice car all around

Luxury driving at a lower cost
I love my Cadenza, with my husband being 6'4' and our kids not far behind, in height, the backseat has enough leg space for them to fit comfortably. I also love the heated seats for the winter and love the a/c vent placements and the temperature controls for the driver, front passenger as well as the back seat passengers. It's also a smooth ride and good on gas mileage.

Pre-certified Kia cadenza.
This vehicle is great for long distance rides as the ride is very smooth and comfortable. The trunk is very spacious for a sedan. The stereo is above par with very clear sound which is great for those long distance ride sing alongs. The gas mileage in the city is a little poor but makes up for it on the highway.
The price is reasonable for all the features I got.
I like the looks and style of my car. I like all the safety features that are standard in my car. I can't think of anything that I don't like. I have no complaints.

Best vehicle I have bought.
I haven't encountered any major problems. Maintenance is low and inexpensive. My car runs smoothly and quietly. Size and comfort is perfect for our family. The back seat is extremely comfortable and it offers a lot of leg space. Love the audio system, easy to program and make updates and changes.

Great sedan from Kia, you'll love the space but everything clicks.
No problems just regular maintenance, at 60k miles I have changed brakes, and tires. So far so good. Got the car in 2015 and nothing major has gone wrong. Regular maintenance per the manufacturer recommendations everything is going fine so far. I cannot complain about the comfort of the car, the amenities have held up so far no problems besides routine maintenance.

Kia cadenza equals a great car!
Very comfortable. Has backup camera, GPS, and heated seats. Very reliable & safe. Has aux input & Bluetooth. Also has USB input and keyless entry. The only issue I have had is the automatic open on the truck has stopped working so I have to use the key now.

This car accelerates very quickly and stops quickly.
I love how it drives. Steers easily, accelerates quickly, and will stop quickly if needed. The seats are very comfortable and I especially love the stereo that is in the car. It looks good also. It has a nice bronze brown color that really gives it a classy sedan look. The sunroof is awesome as it opens in the front and back seats. Price was very reasonable.

Kia cadenza 2014 review! Cool features.
Is a good vehicle, it is comfortable and spacious, in my opinion does not consume a lot of gas and it rides smoothly. Has cool features like for example the seats change temperature depending on how you want it; hot or cold; I think personally that is my favorite part of this vehicle; it makes long rides easier.

This is a sporty/luxury type vehicle.
There have been no major problems other than the sat nav being touchy in extreme cold weather. The performance and handling has been satisfactory for a car this size. Reliability to this point is also good. Comfort is nice, and the heated front seats are welcomed in the winter. It features a 3.3 liter gdi engine, heated leather seats, GPS, and a sporty/luxury look.

Excellent experiences with Kia cadenza.
If you are looking for a great vehicle that is excellent with mileage, this is the right one. Performance is excellent and has held up for over 4 years. Vehicle is fully equipped with an excellent music system and is very spacious and comfortable for 5 passengers. Perfect for on the road trips.

This is the best car, wouldn't trade it in for a while.
I love the car, I wouldn't trade it in anytime soon. I have never had many maintenance issues. The car runs smoothly and can accommodate many people and fit them comfortably. Just keep up with the maintenance and pay attention to the factory recalls and the car will run amazing for many years.

One of the best cars I have ever owned!!
I have owned a Honda and a Toyota. My Kia is right up there with reliability, comfort and speed. I was unsure about Kia at first but I am glad I made the purchase. I will buy another Kia when it is time for me to trade this one in. My only complaint is that the ride should be a lot smoother for how big the vehicle is.

Kia cadenza is an absolute must have.
I have not had one issue with my vehicle since purchasing it brand new in 2014. The buying process was very easy as well. The car drives extremely smooth and turns very easily. It is considered their luxury vehicle a and it truly is. The seats are extremely comfortable and the car is spacious.

Adorable with the comfort of a luxury vehicle
I really haven't had any issues with my car, I really love the size and all the gadgets it comes with. I really like the hands free voice call feature, the GPS and being able to play satellite, CD, radio and iTunes. Or music apps. The seats are very comfortable and the seat warmers are very helpful for my lower back pain.

Lots of amenities, great reliability for a good price.
I bought my car used in February of 2015. I got a great deal. The car only had 20 thousand miles on it. I bought the car for right at $20,000. I have since put 115 thousand miles on it and (knock on wood) other than routine maintenance, I have only had one other issue with. There was a vibration in the steering column. It was repaired and the car has been great. Lots of bells and whistles for a great price.

I do like my car it drives very smooth and has nice leather seat.
The roof of the vehicle is not very adapting to tall people so my head hits the roof a lot. I like that the care has a lot of built in shade features. I like that kids are known to have a lot of nice features in the inside without adding a lot to the cost of the car.

Kia cadenza review- what I love about my car.

Engine starting sound is very weird. Have had some issues with the ac. Other than that I love the luxury level that this car brings to the game. The car is also very good looking.

Long black vehicle with beige interior. Great amount of space with window tints.
Never had any issue with it. Parts are decent priced. Vehicle is comfortable with great features such as back passenger seat warmers. Great sunroof, access to the drunk from the back seat and good trunk space. Gas was decent mpg with a good powerful and fast engine, car is very spacious.

This car has a great warranty.
I feel that my Kia is very comfortable. It has plenty of head and leg room. It also has the options that are important to me. The only thing I would change is I would want a little more power under the hood. And I would also want it offered in a two door.

If you take regular long rides, this car is worth it, but don't depend on navigation system.
It's a really nice ride! I love all the room and it's not so terrible on gas! I do have a complaint.... The navigation system is not up to date and KIA wants to charge to update, (couple hundred)!! I feel they should do this for their owners.. Website said they do but service center says otherwise! Very disappointed in KIA for this :(

Overall the vehicle is very long lasting.
Affordable and lasting. It has a unique style and very different from the rest. I would buy again but in a modern year. I would recommend others to buy as well and pricing is not as high and payments can be well established. No problems with the vehicle and gas is not as wasted.

Kia cadenza luv her forever.
The vehicle is elegant inside and out, it drives as smooth as you would want it to. Overall I have had minimal problems with the vehicle. Maintenance is not too heavy on the pocket either. The only major complaint I have is the steering is super sensitive and can go off balance very easily but she definitely is a keeper.

It has great gas mileage.
My Kia cadenza is a very luxurious car. Heated seats in the front and back make it very worth the price. There are many fabulous features to my car. Such as: moonroof, heated and cooling seats, heated steering wheel, automatic windshield wipers, and more.
