Sitting at 101K miles with no major issues.

Sitting at 101K miles with no major issues. Amazing car for the value. I was even in a major car accident and walked away without a scratch.

Great car for all ages!!!_

I loved my Kia up to the day it was given to a grandson. Yes, he loves the Cadenza, also! My grandson fell in love with the Kia from the moment that I taught him to drive at 18 yrs old. Teenagers usually like souped up cars, but not my Zach. He fell in love my Kia and ask if I would sell it to him. I was going to sell the Kia to Zach for the price that the dealer was offering, but Zach paid me $2,000 more!

2014 Cadenza

Bought brand new in Nov 2014 and now have 88,000 K on it. Only problem was the friendly rats in my area ate the wiring under the hood as it was coated with vegetable oil and the back-up camera had to be replaced and both were not covered under my 7 Year Warranty. Great car, still love driving it. The 293 HP works really well for this size vehicle.

2 thumbs up for ‘14 Cadenza

Owned vehicle since 2016(bought with 34,000 miles). Outstanding vehicle: great ride & style, comfortable interior, gas mileage is typical for premium luxury car. Very few issues, several were covered by Kia recalls so they stand behind their vehicles. Best car I’ve ever owned in close to 50 years. Highly recommend if vehicle has been maintained properly.

Owned since new 43kmi not one issue.

No surprises I’m very Impressed with the build quality the mileage the performance styling and comfort. It’s simply the best car I’ve ever owned. I understand why they put 100,000 mile warranty on the car because they have nothing to lose it’s a very reliable vehicle

Best car luxury at affordable price

Great car. This was the last model yr Kia Made the front passenger seat too low...but I installed after market lift so passenger didn’t look and feel “child-like” in the car... Runs great very reliable. No concerns no issues only good positive experience, would buy again. I drove Mercedes bmw Cadillac etc - I chose Kia Cadenza for value and luxury ...couldn’t be beat.

Engine blew without warning at 75k miles

Nice car until the engine blew without warning. No warning lights, no increase in temperature gouges, nothing. Kia would not work with us to replace it even though maintenance had been done and dealership said there were no signs of sludge or lack of maintenance.

Great car!

Have only 26,000 miles on this car. Bring it in for regular maintenance. NEVER had one problem with it. Great driving car. Smooth ride. Very good mileage for a big car -19 miles in city-28 on the highway. Plenty of room with a BIG trunk.

Most reliable car I ever had.

Purchased this car 5 years ago, with 15K miles. Now with 90k miles, not a single problem, run like new, zero extra maintenance. Still stylish, not exactly a sport car but very nice to drive, eat miles fast. Very confortable, roomy, decent fuel economy. What else I could ask on a car?

Love my car

Can’t think of anything I’d change about her. She’s been good to me over the passed few years. Comfort, she’s got it. Technology, it’s all there.
