A long time Toyota fan, but love this car

I have had multiple Toyota Avalons, and have always loved them. Of late, the design of the Toyota cars has been disappointing. I was looking for a used Mercedes, and test drove several of them, but was blown out by the features of the cadenza for the price. I bought a used 2014 Limited Cadenza with all the bells and whistles. Even though I paid a hefty amount for a full extended warranty, I ended up paying less that half what I would have paid for a comparable Mercedes. If you can get over the name plate badge, this is an excellent value, with all the features of the Mercedes and MORE. In the 8 months I have had the car, I have racked up 16K miles, with 2K more coming up before the end of the year. As of now the only complaint I have had is during very hot days, the driver's side ventilated system did not cool (passenger side was OK). It is cold now, so I wont be able to check this out until it warms up again. Bottom, line I LOVE the car, and hope to put in many more miles on it.

2014 Kia Cadenza

I bought this car new and currently still own it. I've only had minor issues with it and Kia has been great to deal with! Very comfortable to drive and it has features that would have cost $1,000s more from other car companies. I would definitely buy again and would recommend it!

Luxurious car

I previously owned a Lexus which was totaled during Hurricane Irma and I purchased a used 2014, low mileage Kia Cadenza. It is a beautiful car, inside and out. I feel safe driving it and won't buy anything else again.

Almost a Lexus!

I was so surprised so find so much detail in this car. Things you would find in cars twice this price are front and center in this car. It's comfortable, quiet, stylish and handles very well. The the electronics in this car, especially the in dashboard is awesome. It does so much it almost seems like the car is spoiling me.

Valued Luxury

I love the way this car looks, feels, and isolates you from the rest of the world. While it provides a considerable amount of comfort and plushness, it doesn't feel like you are driving a boat and constantly jouncing up-and-down.

best bang for the buck

Lots of bells and whistles for not a lot of money. Adaptive cruise and headlights, heated seats front and back, driver seat slides back for easy in and out, lane departure warning, mirrors turn down when in reverse to aid backup camera.
