We on our 3rd Kia, the few faults they had were sorted under warranty. First 2 only had 3 year, current has 7, one of the reasons for buying it!

 Toyota do 5 years, I believe Isuzu and Mitsubishi as well?

I suppose the correct question to ask is why do so many other manufactures have so little confidence in the cars that they don't offer longer warranties?

yes bought a new hyundai santa fe in 2004 with a five year warranty.downside is you must get it serviced by hyundai and the service was expensive and non to be missed.i keep mine spotless each day of each week.my alloy wheels started to blister on the paint.i only use good cleaners.on the service i complained about this and he said not a problem and when i picked it up there was 4 new wheels fitted.dare not ask how much.but it did not cost me a penny for them.the most expensive service was the 5 year as they changed the drive belt and wheels,it cost £600.to date no other problems.not bad for 9 years towing a van.

No you don't have to get it serviced at that car dealers
as long as the garage is VAT registered you can get your new car serviced anywhere.

I had a Kia Carens, got it serviced locally, for less than the dealer 18 miles was charging, but they still replaced 3 gearboxes and repair 2 others under warranty

true bob but i did not want to take the chance of some other garage using non hyundai parts which could void the warranty if the parts were faulty leading to other parts being damaged.it does go on.
