2014 Kia Cadenza consumer reviews

This car is very nice and very nice car for the money and I'd recommend it to anyone. Car is very fast and has a smooth ride and is equipped with all of the latest safety and technology equipment.

Great cruiser with plenty of room. Economical while cruising. The engine is quiet and eager to romp when needed. Plenty of power. MPG ranges from 24 around town to 34.5 on long trip.

It was 4 my little sister but she loves it. Couldn't find her a better car. She was looking for something dependable and long lasting and she found it...

This is a good quality car for the price with all the bells and whistles of cars costing twice as much. I am glad I mad this choice and would do it again.

I find this car extremely comfortable I'm used to driving a Cadillac DTS so this car compared to the DTS was exciting to drive compared to the Cadillac and overall just as comfortable but a little bit noisier.

Not one complaint, best car I've ever owned. Great value. 25,000 miles not one bit a problem with it. The only thing I would change is get the heated and cooled seats in the rear, living in the south would be nice with cooled seats in the back.

Leased a Cadenza in 2015, very surprised by how comfortable and refined the car was. Very roomy, smooth ride and exceptionally quiet. The transmission can be a bit touchy in certain situations; when pulling out into high speed traffic it can have trouble finding a gear, but there is more than enough power with the V6 to get you up to speed. Amenities are everywhere, from the heated and cooled front seats to the Infinity Stereo with Bluetooth and a USB input, all the way to the heated rear seats with a rear window sunshade. I did not opt for the package containing the adaptive cruise control or blind spot warning, though the car has some issues with forward visibility due to large A pillars, its blind spots are easily covered by the mirrors. It would be nice if the rear seats went down, but there is ample trunk space and in a car like this you likely aren't transporting much that would require them to fold. The biggest concerns I have after 2 years with the car would be fuel economy and resale value. I drive fairly aggressively, and my current commute keeps me in traffic so I average only around 16 MPG. At best I have received 21-22 on road trips with lots of highway time. As for the resale, this car loses value very quickly, and in a lease where the idea is to trade in toward a new model when it comes out for a small deposit, because the value dropped so significantly, my buyout payment is thousands more than the car sells for at local dealerships, so I am stuck. Regardless I have no serious problems with this car, I have put 18,000 miles on in two difference states with extreme climate (MI and TX) and in my opinion it is, for the money, the most comfortable, luxurious and refined car on the market. I want something a little sportier for my next vehicle, otherwise I would definitely consider getting the newly updated Kia Cadenza.

This is an exceptionally good vehicle powerful comfortable and safe I would consider buying another Kia cadenza for sure this is my second cadenza the first one was totaled in an accident it was an identical vehicle and because of the safety I came back to buy the same exact vehicle again and I'm very happy with it !

when you turn the traction control off on this car it is very fast. the stereo is incredible after going into setting and turning on HD radio, surround sound and variable speed volume setting. its not a boom machine but the clarity wow. perfect system just enough sub bass to keep your hearing as you get older. the only downside is the kia emblem. order the k emblems from online. i think the k emblem is used in south korea. it is faster that the 90's mustang gt's with $1000 upgrades just hit the traction control off. the stabilty control stays on unless you hold the traction off button for over 5 seconds. you get a musle car and a high end luxury car wrapped into one. and the exterior looks keeps you out of trouble with the law. you can pick one up after a 3 year lease for just under $20000 with less than 30000 miles. i owed a 1979 trans am with a high performance 400+ hp chevy drivetrain. it ran about 13 seconds flat in the 1/4 mile on street tires and the cadenza from 60 -150mph would win. it a very fast highway car. at 100 it feels like 70mph. from a stop light it has its limits mainly traction problems. but once you moving and you mash the pedal down its feels like the old muscle. i know enjoy my 2 hour commute again. not so much from the speed but the comfort and the sound system. in the morning commute its game on. on the ride home its riding in style and it averages 21 mpg.

My very first Cadenza leased for 3 years. I decided to purchas since i only had 21500 miles. My beef is with KIA finance & dealership. I had the most sttessful uncaring, unknowledgable experience purchasing my Cadenza. I was never told that in IL you pay the full tax on the lease, and you pay tax on the purchas price. I like my Cadenza but dislike KIA finance.
