Man, what a great story. I really think you will be happy with the Kias. The company is very progressive (in a capitalist way) and interested in competing with the best. I can't guarantee that there won't be some less-than-BMW issues, but what a great car for the money spent. And aren't they beautiful? I have had Kias (amongst other cars) since 2003, and the few that I've had are the most carefree and dependable of them all. Wel, welcome to the forum, and keep us updated on you Cadenza experience(s). Congratulations to you and Dad!
