Very Pleased

We lost our Hyundai Genesis in an accident. We loved that car, but couldn't buy a new Genesis as they have escalated in price since 2009. The Kia Cadenza Technology comes very close to hour our Genesis felt and performed, and it has the added bonus of a lot of new technology. We're very happy with it, and it's a very attractive car.

Great drive comfortable dependable

This car has plenty of room for passengers and truck room. Love all the options the truck can fit three set of golf club easily. The safety opt with the blind spot is excellent. Having the tilled steering wheel is a great help with the fact it also extends in and out too! Just like the drive.

Drives better than the Lexus!

This new Cadenza drove better than the other new Lexus, BMW and Audi's we drove before making our decision to purchase a new vehilce under $50,000. The ride is a ten, it is actually too quiet on the inside and 60MPH. Best sound system, Most comfortable seats, best safety features, and most important to me and my wife is night time driving. These Kia LED headlight and foglights are unbelievable at night. We have owned Lexus products for over 25 years. We were disappointed in the new ES350. They use the same old engine and transmission, the safety features cost you an extra arm and a leg compared to the cadenza technology or Limited trim levels.

Kia Cadenza isBetter than our Lexus

We have always owned Lexus vehicles. We test drove the new Kia Cadenza after test driving the new Lexus ES350. We were shocked to find out it drove better, shifted smoother, and had many more safety features, better sound system, more comfortable seats as well.

Beautiful Car

The car meets all of my musts and wants, and then some, very nicely appointed (I bought the SXL model). Very comfortable, and very fuel efficient for its size. Back seat is a little cramped for 3 adult men, but otherwise a very good choice.

What a car for the money!!

I will keep it short. Looked and drove BMW, Infiniti and Audi, all great cars in they're own right. If I took the badge off of any one of these cars and place it on my Kia Cadenza Limited it would easily be a $65,000.00 to $70,000.00 car. I put the new badge from Kia on it and I can't believe the responses from people I get, not only a head turner but they this it belongs to the group of cars I mentioned above and they all said they would buy one. So far I love it and know I made the right choice.
