In some ways I kind of agree with Toyota's philosophy on this in that if you have a defective part 9 times out of ten it will be found in the first 3/36k. My first question when I see an automaker post up 10/100k is what is wrong with your product that would justify that long a warranty?

but with toyota's recent reliability having been called into question, they'll have to step up their game (or warranty) to draw consumers back in

i'm going to be looking for a family car in the next year, and whether i buy new or used, warranty is a HUGE consideration....and why wouldnt it be?

if i could buy a hyundai and be fully covered for problems for the first 5 or 10 years, why would i go spend MORE on a toyota or honda w/ the typical 3/5yr b to b and powertrain warranties? the hyundai has more options for less money too....

i don't see the problem.

The best warranty used to be a good reputation for longevity. I don't know if I've ever actually known anyone who's used the warranty on a Japanese car. :D OldsmoBuick Crown LeBarons however....yow
