Kia offers the longest warrant as standard, covering certain parts of their vehicles for 7 years or 100,000 miles. No other manufacturer can offer this length of warranty on their vehicles. Hyundai is next in line offering a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.

Yet a major manufacturer (Toyota from memory) is offering 10 years warranty in Canada when I was there a few months ago.

If they can do it there why not here?

Because the increased sales there make it worth the cost. They don't here.

They don't guess at these things...

Remember Vauxhall's "lifetime" warranty?
