Would you expect a £99 TV to last as long as a £999 one, Would you expect a Kia to have performance similar to a Porsche?
.............................................just as you'd expect the Kia to be in worse mechanical condition after 5 years due to lower specified parts.

Bad choice of comparison there, gj. see http://www.kia.co.uk/New-Cars/7-year-warranty.aspx?utm_campaign=Brand_Expanded&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=kia_warranty?utm_campaign=Brand+Expanded&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=kia+warranty&gclid=CIr58LTwzqgCFQoZ4QodXlQlgg
Kia have the longest warranty of any car on sale in the UK today - 7 years !!!
Just like with mobile phones, premier badges don't always equate with longevity and reliability. You may pay for the kudos of having a prestige , all-singing-all-dancing top of the range bit of kit, but often the cheaper, less fancy device outlasts the show pony! Think Nokia basic handsets -v- some of the current Iphones/Androids! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -

You get my point...:D I though skoda origianlly then changed it.
One may outlast the other in real life, but it would be reasonable for the most expensive device to have better build quality and be more durable.0
