I am trying to compare warranty terms on different manufacturers around the world. In theory they should all be the same, but I doubt if they are.

In the UK, most manufacturers now have a 3 year warrranty, but Hyundai have recently started to give a 5 year warranty.
Both Hyundai and Kia in the US have a 10-year, 100K-mile powertrain warranty and a 5-year, 60K-mile basic warranty, an effort to overcome the "Korean junk" image.

Audi in the US is 4-year/50K, Ford is 3-year/36K. Due to our federal regulations, there are different warranty periods for corrosion protection, smog controls, and passive restraint systems.

I think most US companies have 3-year/36K.
