I have this particular vehicle and I must say you get a great deal for your buck. I previously had an optima and was impressed with the value and warranty. I waited a couple of years to see how the cadenza would fair and it was worth every bit of the wait. Highly impressed today as if it was the first time I saw it. I've received countless compliments on my vehicle and have slightly customized it. Job well done Kia. Next step... K900
There are some stupid, uninformed comments on here. This car is beautiful. Especially the interior. So it's a kia. Get over it. Everyone deserves a do-over. You're not the same zit faced kid with braces you once were either, are you?
Of the vehicles in Kia's lineup. This is the one that is the sleeper. It's a good looking large sedan. Competing with it's counterpart Hyundai Azera, Toyota Avalon, Nissan Maxima, and Chevy Impala, Dodge Charger etc.
@MotorWeek, please review the new Kia Forte5 SX Turbo. I own this car and it's absolutely a great buy. I don't think many people know it exist in the lineup of Forte vehicles.
The hard part of car sales is getting people in the door.People are more likely to go to a dealer if it the job is covered under warranty.While they are there the dealer will try to show you the newer vehicles in hopes of selling another car to you.
Bc they dont fix it for free.1) Dealers get paid by the manufacturer for warranty repairs. 2) Companies encourage dealers to sell extended warranties, usually these warranties increase profit margins on vehicles. 3) While you are in shop getting warranty work done they may offer you non warranty work like tire rotation/oil change bc your car is already in shop, then bc of the extra time its in shop, they ask if you want to rent a car for a day or two while car is in shop.
Except for the Azera/Cadenza.Which have 89% parts kontent from korea and only2% US/Canada parts. engine, transmission and final assembly for the twins is Korea

People who know value.
Somehow motorweek’s Cadenza was about a second slow on the 0-60 test. Much closer to 6 seconds vs. 7
How does that make sense? Wouldn't that make it the other way around? offer short warranty because their products brake easily?

Was I the only one the caught when he said "Fake Wood Trim?" This car is really nice!
Kia needs to get its own design language. The Soul is pretty unique...almost. The Cadenza is a Frankenstein of German luxury autos.
It's weird that they're trying to position Kia as their premium brand. That said, it is a good looking car

I'd consider a used one, let someone else take the depreciation hit!
It's the perfect German car
