Have any of you new Cadenza owners noticed any of the weird electronic steering issues (pulling/drifting, "touchy" center) that some of the new Optimas and Sorentos seem to have? I would think that Kia would have taken extreme care in engineering better performance into the K7/Cadenza. Can any of you new owners comment on this?

Nope. My '10 maxima had a ton of torque steer. Cadenza steering is very smooth even during fast launches.

it has just the slightest little drift at 80, optima was much worst

Steering is fine on any speed...it is lighter then Optima though.
Optima hold in center position on high speed but in Cadenza it's pretty light, and yes it is very easy to turn when car is stopped...much better then Optima in that sense (easy parking maneuvers).

Nope.

This is my first car with electric assisted steering and yes, this car is very light in neutral position. The car floats a little but as soon as you start turning it's great. Very little torque steering (yes, I've tested it) and not a bad feel everywhere else but in the center.

no issues

I test drove 2 used 2014's last week. The Limited I didn't get had a crooked wheel, and felt like it pulled on the road a bit. But not the issue you just described. I picked up a different 14 used later in the day, and that one with 10000 miles still feels like a brand new car. No steering issues to note.
