warranties

Are you talking bumper to bumper or just powertrain warranties?

Hyundai/Kia in the US have a 10 year/100,000 powertrain warranty and I think a 4 year 50,000 bumper to bumper. There are terms though on the powertrain being not transferable.

Isuzu for a spell had a 10 year 120,000 mile powertrain warranty but they have dropped it back to a 7 year 70,000 I think from the last commercial I saw.

The standard in the US is about 3 years 36,000 miles for bumper to bumper, 5 year 60,000 miles for a powertrain although most manufacturers have been creeping up their warranties in recent years and many now include some mantainance for the first couple years (I'll bet they find its actually cheaper later on if they provide the work for free and more people actually get it done).
