Hyundai has the best warranty.

read the fine print

Hyundai/Kia (same company) do have a 100,000 mile/10yr warranty. But it's a 1 time shot fix for things. If it happens again, you are SOL

What do you mean? (not that I'd ever buy a damn Hyundai)

Here's what Hyundai says about their 10/100 warranty. Did you own one? Fess up Tylus.

Covers repair or replacement of powertrain components (i.e. selected Engine and Transmission/Transaxle components), originally manufactured or installed by Hyundai that are defective in material or factory workmanship, under normal use and maintenance. Coverage applies to Original Owner only effective with 2004 Model Year and newer model year vehicles. On 1999-2003 Model Years, coverage applies to Original Owner and immediate family members (i.e. wife, husband, daughter, son, stepdaughter, stepson).

Second and/or subsequent owners have powertrain components coverage under the 5 year / 60,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Excludes coverage for vehicles in commercial use (i.e. taxi, route delivery, delivery service, rental, etc.).

they will only repair something once. it's a little known thing that they gloss over

yep, I bought a 2005 Kia Sorento new in Feb 2005....actually a surprisingly good little vehicle. 5 speed tiptronic SUV on a truck frame...220 HP V-6.

I drove it from Seattle to Austin @ 75 mph with a 3,500 lb trailer...the tranny started to say F-you...so I traded out of it with <20,000 miles on it. Other than that, I had 0 complaints about it, and if I hadn't abused it, I might even still have it. Just wasn't interested in dealing with warranty claims from Kia.

And this is so true. A friend of mine has an Oh-M 7. Now he is a coal miner and drives it on mine acid wash roads. There is nothing left of it. I am just waiting for the frame to break through. It has a hell of a drivetrain, but to watch him come at you with that sheet metal flapping makes you think it is a big black vulture getting ready to take off.
