4.9out of 5 overall- 5.0
Great Automobile
by Steve on 7/10/2025 2:49:00 AM
My KIA Cadenza is an excellent car. With plenty of room, especially in the rear seat where a 6'4" man fits with leg room to spare when the front seat is at a normal position. The ride is quiet, smooth, very good handling, with enough power from the 3.3L V6 motor to accelerate quickly when merging into traffic. I have driven this car for over 7 years and just over 70K miles. I have not had any issues or breakdowns, it is very dependable. Total maintenance has been oil changes once per year with full synthetic oil, new tires at 40K miles, and a battery (most likely a new battery is in the near future due to the FL heat). I usually do not keep my cars this long, but I like it so much that I have no desire to sell it and get another vehicle. - 5.0

This car gets great gas mileage! The car is light but drives very stable. Very good looking car inside and out. I bought this car used in 2021 and immediately drove it cross country, very happy! And the backseat is HUGE. - 5.0
Cadenza has been a wonderful car!
by Shannon on 6/25/2023 11:56:05 AM
I bought my Cadenza new, back in the Fall of 2016. It's been a beauty with zero problems! It's 2023 and I still LOVE this car...best car I've ever owned. This was my 3rd KIA and all 3 have been amazing. Prior to KIA, I was a Honda owner....and I'll say both are equally great, reliable and fun cars to own!
