6 yrs and close to 190k mark, the car still gets noticed. The fact that they have not changed the redesigned version that much a part from the Front Grill also helps.
It is not a perfect SUV but still makes a lot of sense for our family which will now be requiring the 7th seat on daily basis.

Pros: Style, Comfort, Size, Features, Sound & Entertainment System, Big Dual Panel Sunroof. Great Buick Warranty of 7yrs & 160k. We are at 190k mark now.

Cons: Gas (It is a Big & Heavy Vehicle but the real mileage is nowhere near the posted Stuff).Not as tough as some of the other Japanese cars I have used & Abused before.. Traction & All Wheels could have been better.

Would I buy it again ? Well we are going to keep for a few more yrs it as we see it as still the best Option in this class by miles. If we change then it will be because of the sizeof the trunk with full utilization of all 7 seats but the Bigger SUVs out there are way bad with Gas and are Boxy & I don't like Mini-Vans.

Just got the Base Version which comes Loaded with Features and is a Gorgeous Looking Car. People always ask me what it is ? Looks very European. The Ride is Great , Handling is great and it is very Spacious. The Best thing is because it is so rare that it gets noticed from a distance. Getting the base for 8k less made a lot of sense as it still comes with Leather, Nice Wheels, Heated Seats, Navigation System, Power Folding Heating Mirrors and the list goes on .
The Warranty is also Awesome. Haven't dealt with any issues so I don't know how good Kia is as this is my first Kia purchase although I have been contmpleting purchasing an Optima for a while but I think that Cadenza is a better buy as the price of Optima SX turbo & Cadenza base is almost the same but the Financing options offered by Kia on Cadenza are more Favorable.
