 I traded in a 3 series BMW for my 2014 Kia Cadenza Premium model.  This has a much better ride, but is slower off the starting line.  The front wheel drive 3.3 liter V6 produces 298 horsepower and 255 ft-lbs of torque.  Doesn't belong on a race track, but fine for city driving.The ride in comfortable with above average seating front and rear.Exterior styling pretty generic.
