Which New Cars Provide the Best Warranties?
June 7, 2012
One of the greatest benefits of buying a new car is the peace of mind you get with the manufacturer warranty. But not all brands provide the same protection, so this is something you should consider before making your purchase decision.
Hyundai, in particular, provides the best warranties out of all brands, giving you 5 years/60,000 miles bumper-to-bumper protection and up to 10 years/100,000 miles on the powertrain. Mitsubishi and Kia also provide outstanding warranties.
Surprisingly, Toyota and Honda provide some of the worst manufacturer warranties, giving you only 3 years/36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper protection.
Here is the current list of manufacturer warranties, ranked from best to worst. As always, when you're ready to purchase, make sure to use the RydeShopper to get the best prices.
