Mitsubishi Launches 10 Year Warranty

[FastMitch]

The warranty is against faults and defects during manufacturing process, not for the wear and tear.

That's not quite how the ACL works. The more the retail item costs, the more the court will expect it to last.

$3K TV should last longer than a $400 TV, regardless of Manufacturers warranty. ACL trumps manufactures warranty and the dodgy 'wear & tear' definitions that are used to evade the ACL.

The moment Mitsubishi goes to 10 Year warranty, it will create an implied warranty under the ACL and then be enforceable against all car manufactures, especially the more expensive the car.

Good times ahead

That’s the thing though, if a vehicle is warranted for X years, it is saying that things won’t ‘wear and tear’ in that time.
Ie- they have engineered it to last.

Agreed. Love it !

I think the point Transporter is making is that 'wear and tear' will exclude a lot of things people might think are covered.

It is definitely not saying that everything on the car will last during the warranty period.

Have a read of Kia's seven year warranty and you'll find lots of things that you'll still need to cover yourself. Even little things like all the people who take up uber type jobs, you've just capped your mileage at 150km (which admittedly is still a decent whack).

I think it is fantastic that Kia offer seven years, and an abomination that VW still flogs a lot of product under three year deals.. but longer warranty periods are definitely not the panacea I suspect people are hoping it is.

Agree the designs and internals are boring. Toyota are the most reliable cars but the insides look bland & cheap it puts me off buying one.

Marketing still works I see.
As reliable as any other car. Plenty of issues if you talk to the RACQ road assist guys. No more or less just normal stuff.
Out west where Hilux and Ranger compete head to head both get same amount of callouts. From personal experience my work car had issues with remote control not connecting unless you are standing just right and holding the remote just right (Toyota replaced remote battery and after 3rd complaint replaced receiver in the car), DPF issues, car losing alignment and scrubbing tyres (im pretty mechanically sympathetic and Fortuner shouldnt scrub tyres during city commutes or long distance country drives). All covered under warranty. Other users had issues with timing belt, injectors in 2.8Diesels etc. And then you have a 2000's technology in 50k car.

I look forward to getting home and whenever I can I take our '09 147TSi for a run to put a smile on my face. Need bread, no problem, another excuse to take a long road.
The old girl hasn't missed a beat and in the last 7 years apart from servcing had a sun shade and headlining replaced.

I have no opinion on Toyota's as I don't own one. But each time I talk to a RAC# guy and most general mechanics and they all say Toyota (only the ones made in Japan) are the most reliable and cheapest cars to maintain and service.

Plenty of Prados there right from 2006 with failed injectors mate.
I know a few owners of much younger models that needed a new engine well before 150,000km.

I am not a mechanic so I better not comment on Toyota's anymore

They're still considered as very reliable, though, trading on a good reputation pre 2000 and on the tunes of unbreakable Hilux and old Corollas. The one of my suppliers rep has a new Hilux 2.8D, he had a few problems. Honestly, when I saw the interior in it, I don't understand how anyone can buy it.

That's what I said when I sat inside a Grand Cherokee, and yet they still sell like hot cakes. The amount of cheap plastic trim and tacky chrome linings...

The interior of a VW is much nicer than other common brands. Except Mazda and the top SUV offerings from Kia and Hyundai.
Going in a Ford or Toyota feels a bit chintzy.

Agree

The New 2021 Hyundai Tuscon interior & specs looks to surpass the Tiguan with a standard 10.5 inch sreen.
The button gears is an interesting direction for cars in the future.

The Tucson interior will impress many.

I suspect a lot of Ford/Toyota/Jeep buyers have never spent time in say a VW interior - they're coming from older Ford/Toyota/Jeeps and so to them the interiors are fine.

I consider myself a car person and until I actually owned my first VW, I had not really given that much thought to the interior presentation and finish despite it being the spot where you spend most of your time.
