Used 2015 Kia Cadenza Consumer Reviews
BUY IT
Hands down the BEST car i have ever owned! I never had any major problems and it has been good to me. I put many many miles on it and still have only had to do regular maintenance.

Nice, BUT...
Car has power and is extremely quiet, however, transmission is not smooth, nav/electronics not very intuitive and set up of front seats for comfort is poor for long trips. The AC is nice and operates well. Also, backseat is roomy. The absolute WORST part of owning this car vs every other car I've bought/leased is the dealerships. I had problems with the two I dealt with on several levels. Overall, performance is great, comfort is poor and would like easier-to-use electronics.

Celina Cadenza
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.

So Far I like it!
UPDATE 5/19/2017 I still have the car but my wife drives it now the vehicle has about 85K on it (my wife drives for a living). We've had no issues w/the car except a regular maintenance. It does have one small and obscure rattle in the cabin that I can't pin point but I am confident is something of my wife's since she has a mobile office in there. All the electronics still work and we're both thankful for the cooled driver seat. I recently did a KBB on the value of the car and I was floor at how poorly is held its value. 3 year old car with high mileage will only snag me 11K!? My 2 year old ram 1500 held better value than that so that is really the only major complaint I have. I still think if you can pick up a used one coming off a lease for 20K or so it'd be a good deal for what you get. The V6 is still smooth as ever and the car is still fun to drive. I took on a new job that required a lot of travel. I had to get rid of my beloved pickup and downgraded to a Prius. I absolutely hated the prius. Granted it gets great gas mileage but the ride and everything about the car was not comfortable for me. I started researching luxury cars and decided between the Kia Cadenza and the Buick Lacrosse. I really felt the buick was a more comfortable ride, the seats were softer but that is pretty much where the pro's for that car stopped. I settled into the Kia Cadenza Premium w/the luxury package for $27K. I am glad I did as I took a 500 mile trip and really fell in love with that car.
