A great car and value

I purchased a Factory Certified 2015 Cadenza Limited. So far I have really enjoyed the car and received many compliments on it. I would say my only slightly negative comment is that I was surprised that the car does not have daytime running lights. I didnt even think to ask because they are so prevalent on cars and most all other Kia's seem to have them. Otherwise, I would certainly recommend this car to anyone especially as a used purchase as they are a great value.

Great upscale looking and feeling car for less than 2/3 of what I was paying for the Tahoe. Great move for me as I prep for retirement.

Road Dominator

Road Dominator!! Love my barely used 2015 Kia Cadenza! My 2015 Hyundai Sport Sonata was demolished by Rudolph while jetting to work last winter forcing me to find another reliable vehicle. Seeking another Sonata, I stumbled upon this awesome looking Bat Mobile hybrid Audi/Lexus thing. Confident this vehicle was out of my price range but surprisingly it fell in my range 18-20k. Love the large sporty rims, black with tan interior with the awesome superdome roof! Test drive was impressive due to power of engine and tranquil silent in cabin. Interior is so luxurious with NASA instrumentation dominating the dash console. So much room and the heated steering wheel, all heated seats and audio system with warranty sealed the deal. One year later with no problems, makes me a happy camper! Don't see many of these on the road and it turn heads everywhere. Love this vehicle!!!

Decent but Disappointing

The car itself is really good mechanically but i have to agree with a previous reviewer who noted that the navigation system is horrible. Acceleration is consistent with other cars in the category. Handling is just ok, certainly not up to Audi A4 standards. Interior is great, the roof is great. I've had some problems with Kia Finance as well and recommend avoiding them, if possible.
