  Pleasantly Surprised. - 2014 Kia Cadenza
  By Andrew - August 6 - 9:18 am

  A nice KIA? That is an oxymoron, right? I test drove a Cadenza on a recommendation and was shocked. I bought one a week later. It reminds me of an Audi A6; big, comfortable, and lots of power. I have now owned it a year. Has about 50k miles. It still drives great.

  Perhaps too much - 2014 Kia Cadenza

  The dashboard seemed to contain too many things and appeared to be too close to the driver

  Enjoying my Cadenza Premium - 2014 Kia Cadenza
  By f1racer24 - December 8 - 9:55 pm

  Just purchased my new 2014 Cadenza. Love the room, features and pricing that under cuts the German competition by $10-15K. get the two thumbs up from strangers when driving. Kia has really stepped ups game to go after the large car segment and with hiring the ex-Audi designer, the car looks stunning. If the prestige brand is not a top priority (and this will save tonnes in service cost) Kia (and brother company Hyundai) if the way to go. Great work and looking forward to many years of use. Will update in 6 months time.

  I traded in a 3 series BMW for my 2014 Kia Cadenza Premium model. This has a much better ride, but is slower off the starting line. The front wheel drive 3.3 liter V6 produces 298 horsepower and 255 ft-lbs of torque. Doesnt belong on a race track, but fine for city driving. The ride in comfortable with above average seating front and rear. Exterior styling bold and is almost identical to their $54,500 K900 model.

  So Far I like it! - 2014 Kia Cadenza
  By jrgleason2003 - December 18 - 1:34 am

  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 pros 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.

  The moron who left Toyota for the 2014 Cadenza - 2014 Kia Cadenza
  By 6406nb - December 6 - 1:01 am

  Dont get me wrong. I love the HD radio, the heated steering wheel along with the ride & handling. But so many little things have broken or gone wrong--the backup camera, the panoramic sunroof rattling which took 4 tries to fix, the volume control on the steering wheel broke, the sun visor tore, the seat belt stopped retracting, and the bluetooth is frustrating. I leased it thankfully because the value has crashed so to get out with 15 months to go would cost thousands out of pocket. If you love what you are driving dont experiment. Stick with the brand you know. I am now waiting for parts while driving a dodge loaner. Its nauseating. This wasnt the plan. The dealer tries its best.

  So far so good - 2014 Kia Cadenza
  By i_love_cars1 - January 18 - 12:44 pm

  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. Ill be interested to see how it holds up in the coming years

  Great value, but not quite there as a premium car - 2014 Kia Cadenza
  By shakopeepirate - December 19 - 8:34 pm

  Overall, this is a great vehicle, especially with a lot of them still on lots. Its not a rocket but its fast enough, especially when passing. Its quiet with just a hint of wind noise. I do about 70/30 highway driving and dont go crazy on the gas and still get 27 mpg combined. Most significant disappointment is the stereo/nav system. While the stereo sounds good, it wont blow out any windows. The navigation system needs an overhaul. Directions can be pathetic at times and add unbelievable routes. Maps lose almost all detail after the 700-feet setting and Ive had major highway ramps disappear at some resolutions. A great car but still just a pricier Accord or Camry.
