When you're ready to move up in the world and achieve first-class comforts in a sedan while also finding a model that won't bankrupt you, two models that fit the bill are the 2016 Kia Cadenza vs. 2016 Buick LaCrosse. The 2016 Cadenza is a playful-yet-elegant sedan with a spacious seating area and plenty of the creature comforts that you expect from a higher-end vehicle. The 2016 LaCrosse has a busy, thick front fascia that screams "old school," and its interior skimps in places where the 2016 Cadenza shines.
For example, the 2016 Cadenza has 12 speakers standard in all three trim levels, which will make every morning commute feel as intense as a concert in the round, while it also contains an expansive 106.8 cubic feet for passengers, plenty of room for up to five to stretch out in with ease. The 2016 LaCrosse comes with fewer speakers (11) and is more cramped in front and back, with only 101.7 cubic feet for passengers.
