An interesting detail about this car is how the windows do not stain. So amazing.
It is very reliable. Comfortable seats, good, loudspeakers. I could not afford a big, very expensive car so my mother kindly bought me this car. I am so thankful and I was nervous it would not be enough but it is amazing. Like I said amazing speakers, comfortable seats and great interior. The tires are big and bulky and easy to clean. I am so glad this is my car and I would not trade it for a thing.

Reliable, comfortable, and easy to use!
My Kia cadenza is a very reliable, comfortable, and easy to use vehicle. I have had zero issues with it so far. I find something new about it almost every week. My most recent discovery was that it knows when a police officer is scanning the speed of the cadenza and it will notify you and shut off cruise control immediately. I love my car! It was a great choice!

The whole car is just awesome.
Great interior black leather with wood accessories everything is easy to get to. Touch screen. Voice commands. Rides smooth. Breaks are smooth. I hate it does not have a sunroof. I love the cruise control easy to assess overall the car brand is awesome if you have kids you'll love it great space.

It does not hold up long term.
My vehicle is falling apart in so many ways. All the trim is coming off. The transmission has been worked on twice and I believe there are still more problems with the transmission.
