Cannot find one issue and I'm a German car fanatic. This vehicle is perfect in every way from brakes, power, quietness, to build quality. Even KIA corporate has contacted me for my opinion. This is a whole new game. Its a no brainier and one of the few buying decisions I've made that I can say I made a great decision. I own the car and I'm very direct in my thoughts.

This car is one of the nicest cars I have ever owned. Spacious, hugs the road.....until....I was driving down the street and started to hear a loud clicking noise. Towed it to the dealer and was told that the car needed a new engine! I bought the car with 37k miles and the car was under 60k miles when this happened. I had two oil changes on the car and was very careful with it. THE KIA WARRANTY IS COMPLETELY HORSE****! They will not honor it....but will come up with ways, at the cost of the owner, to suggest things that need to be done for the car....all so they can say it was your fault. I will NEVER buy a KIA again just by the way they do business. This was my only car and the financial setback to me was MAJOR! NEVER AGAIN!

Just purchased a 2014 Kia Cadenza with Luxury Package and not looking back. A great all around car with a sport/luxury persona. The handling and engine response satisfies my joy of driving. The look, comfort and size makes it a very solid The interior is smooth and practical. Its old school with a modern touch. The navigation, voice command and bluetooth is key and learning(or reading the manual) is a breeze. Trunk space is awesome. I don't miss GM. I welcome my new car plus 3 year full maintenance plan! My experience with Hyundai and KIA have been through family and friends. As years pass, quality and convenience has become their calling card. I am glad I answered.

This is a great car. I traded in my 2014 for a 2015. This new one had a few more features that I really liked and had to have.

What a Deal

Got the car as a dealer demo model with 15K miles. I have put over 20k new miles on in 8 months. My average mileage, city and road, is about 26mpg, Love all the amenities and features. The entertainment/info capability is great and works very well. Easy Bluetooth connection. I did update the nav map info (about $180) that I thought was high. Not thrilled with mileage of original Hankook tires. I have to drive all over Colorado, so mountains and plains. Got some Pirelli Sottozero 3 winter tires and they really allowed great traction even in blizzard conditions. The bang for the buck is great, particularly as I got the car "used." All who have ridden in it love the features. Heated steering wheel has to be the favorite. Paddle shifters for the mountains, with adaptive headlights really helps. There aren't many out there, but it's absolutely a car to consider, if you need or want a more full sized sedan. The value over euro sedans is tremendous. Learn to love the name Kia.
