Same price, same fuel economy, bigger engine, bigger trunk, larger back seats, better suspension, better "road manners", quieter cabin, lower baseline pricing, more comfortable front passenger seat, more torque, more horsepower, half a second faster 0-60.

The driver's seat in the Cadenza is more comfortable, I prefer the Kia's interior, it has a longer warranty and while I like the Impala's styling I think the Kia's styling will age better in the long term. This is mainly down to personal preference. The Kia just fit me better. Your mileage will vary.

Coureur De Bois 5 years later and the Impala is still a very attractive design. It’s aging very well. The Kia Cadenza’s exterior design on the other hand definitely shows it’s age more mainly on the front end.
@johnvryan210310 жыл бұрын
Interesting that the tester finds the Impala slightly better in most every key metric. Then he picks the Kia as the winner. Say what? While the author likes the Impala's styling better, he (1) thinks the Kia's more conservative styling will age better. He says the Impala driver's seat is great, but he (2) likes sitting in the Kia better. So, based on these two small, subjective, and counter-factual points, he picks the Kia over the Impala. Conclusion: If you're in the market, try both cars for yourself, and make up your mind based on your own experience.

I own 2 2014 Impalas - an LTZ and an LT2. The LTZ has 9600+ miles and the LT2 2000+ miles. I purchased the LTZ in June, 2013 when it was first built in the Oshawa, Canada plant;the LT2 in Sept. 2014. Both cars have mostly identical features with the exception of some chrome and air-conditioned seats on the LTZ. Gas mileage averages 18.5 in the city and 22.5 on the highway. However, although both have similar features, they have similar flaws. Poor front pillar visibility; sloppy radio tuning, transmission sluggish, seems to follow braking in hard stops; 20" rims are useless in snow and ice, stick to the LT2's 19" wheels. The LTZ is tintcoat red and is a head-turner everywhere it goes. Overall, I agree with most of the reviews -- a 9 out of 10. Nobody's perfect, but having owned 12 Impala LTZ's and LT2's since 2000 (combined) I can honestly say that this new model is a game-changer and far superior to past models.

And when it came down to it everything pointed to the Cadenza in my situation. Btw I have the luxury technology package so it has all the bells and whistles which was definitely a factor in chosing this over something like the Impala for the same price.

I think their warranty is 5 yr bumper to bumper and 10 year powertrain. That's unheard of these days.

We even liked Cadenza better than the ES350.

I stumbled across this review recently and I thought it was interesting. In August of 2013, I wanted to buy a new car. When comparing vehicles, I chose a 2014 Impala 2LTZ over the Kia Cadenza. I totally agree with reviews and comments here, don't get me wrong. The Cadenza was a fine vehicle, and felt very luxurious. Much like Consumer Reports' review, I found the 2LTZ clearly handled better. It should be pointed out that the Impala's suspension is tuned differently for each wheel size as well as tier level. My father has parkinson's and this Impala is also the *only* full size sedan he feels comfortable in, too. He finds it very easy to access, and that was important to me and speaks volumes about the great design. So far, it has been extremely reliable and VERY good in winter weather. It stops extremely well on ice, and the ESC is very effective. I have driven it through about 8" of snow and it made it home without me having a fear of getting stuck. Do I think the Cadenza sucks? No way. I think they are both great. The Impala 2LTZ had more features for the money and the impressive poise while driving was more important to me than looks. I do absolutely love the Impala's interior as well as the exterior, however.

Seriously no one cares which air vent looks better, total waste to bring up things like that. You could have done a side by side comparison of the steering wheel controls, much more useful for a potential buyer. No visible exhaust on the Impala is a deal breaker to a lot of people, they want to see pipes! Its clear the Cadenza taillights look better, idk what you were looking for, boring unappealing on the Impala? You chose the Cadenza even though you undermined it the whole video. Trying to hide bias?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the new Impala. I've driven both vehicles for days at a time. Simply put the ride of the Cadenza is smooth and soft and the Impala in the LTZ trim feels like a 'big' sport cruising cars. The ride is definitely firmer and it is not as quiet. But I really enjoyed it on some twisty road. I've disliked Impalas until they made this new body change, but I think it looks good. For longevity though, I would buy the Candenza

The majority of issues have to deal with the radio, but I have transmission issues, rear end issues, even problems with the letters falling off the car. The body is made of this feeble aluminum that if you press down lightly on, you leave a dent in the panel. Don't get me wrong.

The Kia has a different look for sure and that's all very subjective. The Kia offers some features not available on the Impala and a slightly better value. The warranty proposition cannot be overlooked. It has a 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty with free scheduled maintenance for 3 years 37,500 miles. The basic warranty coverage from GM and Kia are identical in scope.

Alex, would you pick the Acura TL over these two? Nice review!
@AAutoBuyersGuide10 жыл бұрын
I would take the Kia over the Acura at the moment. The TL is a lame duck car due to be replaced very soon with the TLX which we should see in a month or so and production likely by the end of 2014.

@777dbcoonass Steering feel doesn't make a car or a whole brand junk. Kia aims more for comfort and luxury, which I can appreciate. I much prefer Kia's steering feel over the competition.

I would never buy a Kia. Engine reasons. Impalas will last over 200,000 miles if maintained and get more respect as a former muscle.

If you ever tried to use a Kia warranty you would say that the Impala has a better warranty. While going through the video You liked many more things and gave the edge to Impala in most matchups except you felt the Kia would age better. you said also that you felt the Kia was a better value BUT your getting a larger, roomier,(and in my opinion a better looking with a nicer interior car with the impala for the same price.

I am torn between these two cars. The Cadanza sure looks like a good car, but I feel like the Impala is better. Now if Chevy can make a car to compete against the Kia K900, that would be nice.

I would take the impala. What strange to me is that the impala with the gray interior feels cheap but with the black or tan interior it feels very high quality. That really baffles me..

i think i'd be very comfortable in the backseat of the Cadenza and i don't care if you don't care Alex!

You must be kidding... Just look at how the side windows are shaped on the car. They move to the back and wrap around EXACTLY the same way. The headlights and tails are pretty much the same basic shape, just slightly different designs. Front bumpers have the exact same features...again just slightly different in shape. A few of my friends were over with a subaru impreza and a mitsubishi galant parked in line with each other, another friend glanced at them and thought they were the same car...

5.52 sec to get to 60 is very impressive. Are you sure you guys got 5.5 and not 6.5? That is almost as fast as a Taurus SHO with the 3.5 Ecoboost.

I have 45$(window motor) in parts in my 03 silverado with 215,000 miles. I just hauled 2 ton of gravel a couple weeks ago for 20 miles with ease in my half ton pick up. doubt if there has ever been a ford,toyota or honda on the face of this planet that can say that!

Why do you call tail lights "headlamps" at 2:43 ? Did you "doobie" before the shoot or do you drive in reverse?
@AAutoBuyersGuide11 жыл бұрын
5.5 is correct, remember that the 3.6L DI engine has an excellent torque curve and the Impala is considerably lighter than the Taurus SHO. The lack of AWD also results in less loss. Of course the SHO whips the Impala's rear in every other performance metric, but the delta in acceleration was eye opening.

I didnt say their warranty was a fraud. But its not as good as GM's. Like not fixing a bad transmission at 36k miles because it was not brought in to dealership for a trans. filter change at 30k miles. And once again you liked many more things about the Impala than you did the KIA as several people have pointed out, except you THINK the KIA will age better. You gave every reason why the Impala was a better value but said Kia was with nothing to back that up.

I don't think this was a fair match up. He should have gotten the highest trim level of both cars. The Impala 2LTZ has integrated exhaust with chrome tips. And it has push start ignition plus more amenities. This doesn't count.
