Used 2015 Kia Cadenza Consumer Reviews
Some disappointments
The car is unsatisfactory 1) as it does not give the estimated mileage that was advertised on the window sticker and 2) the engine does not have sufficient pickup. 3) The navigation on the car has been giving erroneous directions over the last several months.I took the car to Braman Kia for service. The service advisor is not knowledgeable nor competent. I had taken the car to resolve this problem and for a maintenance (oil change). I asked him if he could take care of both while I went to lunch and come back a few hours later. After I did, neither had been done on the car. The Kia service person did not know how to solve the navigation problem even after I explained how to. 4) update 6/24/16. Overall reliable car. Has lot of options. It is good value. Three main disappoints were 1. Lack of pickup. Needed a more powerful engine 2. Navigation took me to wrong places several times. 3. Fuel economy was not what was stated on window sticker.

So far so good
I purchased the 2014 Cadenza in late June and immediately took a 2,500 road trip to California. The Cadenza is a very well behaved sedan that will turn heads and compete with the so-called big boys. I averaged over 30MPG for the trip and power was more than sufficient for my liking. The seats were extremely comfortable and I loved the seat coolers on both front seats, especially as we ventured into the 100+ degree Central Valley. I previously drove a 2002 Audi A6 and was tempted to go that route again, but for $20,000 less, I get fantastic mileage, same creature comfort, a beautifully designed exterior and easy to use electronics. I'll be interested to see how it holds up in the coming years

Good value but in the shop a lot
It's a great value however before my car even had 55,000 miles on the odometer I had the fuel sending unit and oxygen sensor replaced. The rack and pinion also failed all repaired under warranty. I wasn't expecting all these things with such low mileage. The car has never stopped running at all despite the problems. I had one issue where the entire car just died and needed a jump. The car turns head everywhere I go. I love the look and functions of the car. I think you'll love the car as if repairs do arise they are a lot cheaper than the other luxury brands. The car is excellent on the highway and very comfortable on long trips. I've enjoyed this car despite the few issues and I think you would too.

2014 Cadenza
I just leased a new 2014 Cadenza with the Premium and Tech package. I choose the black exterior with white nappa leather. I then -after market had my windows tinted. I put $ 4300 down and did a 36 month,12,000 annual mileage lease. My monthly payment $ 299. I have approx. 1300 miles on the car and have enjoyed every second behind the wheel. Previously,I have driven lexus,Infiniti,BMW,etc and this beats them all. The features that are on the Cadenza would cost a minimum of $ 10-15,000 more on other vehicles. This vehicle is extremely well appointed and handles beautifully. A very happp customer and driver !
Classy unknown sedan
I had never heard of a Kia Cadenza before I bought mine. It is a credenza premium luxury edition. For a 2014 car it has a lot of bells and whistles and is a beautiful car. Many more features than my last newer car.
