If Honda is known for reliability why do they offer less of a warranty than other imports?

If your product is better than the competition why offer less of a warranty? Are you not confident in your product?

That's my question. Other imports such as Hyundai and Kia have 100k mile warranties. Honda offers 36k. Man, what a difference.

I believe Kia and such forth do that because that's what draws all their costumers....imo Honda shouldn't have to have a huge unnecessary warranty because their costumers trust their quality in the first place...plus you better have a huge warranty for a piece of sh it like a Kia

"That's my question. Other imports such as Hyundai and Kia have 100k mile warranties. Honda offers 36k. Man, what a difference"

those two makes and daewoo are forign but not japanese, they are korean. these companies don't have the reputation that the japenese makes like honda & toyota. they use this as a marketing edge to give a false impression of better liability. as long as you keep up with your maintance religiously, any card can do 150,000 no problem. if you take could care of your car a warrenty won't matter in most cases, unless u have a lemon.

i would't by a korean car even if it had a huge warrenty.

Hyundai's waranty is only good on the powertrain.

Why offer less of a warranty? Because, if your product is known to work, you don't need marketing gimics to sell your products. Its not like Hyundai replaces everything if it breaks down in 100,000 miles.

[hr]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. [hr]
If its not a factory defect in material or workmanship, then the 100,000 mile waranty is... worthless

also the warenty is not transferable. my friend is the second owner of a 97 hyundai elantra with 45,000 miles he doesn't get that 60,000 bumper to bumper, or the 100,000 mile powertrain coverage.
