Good morning

Why is it that new car manufacturers like Hyundai offer a 5 year warranty, Honda 3yr & 90K, Merc only 3 yr but unlimited mileage. Why the varaince between car co's if Hyundai can offer 5 years why not MB, BMW and Audi?

It's all to do with marketing, pricing and faith in your product.

It is not that long ago that 12 months or 12,000 miles was the standard.

Japanese upped the warranties mostly to 3 years - European cos still offer less - Peugeot, Ford etc were 2 years + 12 months free insurance based cover (less comprehensive).

Even then you have to look deeper some parts such as AC/CC/ICE/Battery are less than the rest of the car.
