Will the rest have to follow that lead or will that prove too costly for KIA
Hard to say I guess

My Mum bought a new Rio in May and it only had 5 year unlimited Km warranty, europe has 7 year and I think USA has 10 year 100,000 Mile warranty.
Never heard of 15 year and what would be the point? |

I still find a five year warrantee amazing...I remember vividly when no manufacturer here would give you more than one year 20,000km...and that was well into the eighties for Australian makers.
It was showed up glaringly during the whole :badge engineering era" where you could buy a Ford Maverick (Nissan Patrol), Corsair (Pintara), Holden Apollo (Camry), Nissan Ute (Falcon ute), etc. You could go into Nissan and buy a Patrol with two year/40,000km warrantee, yet the same vehicle bought from Ford only had Fords standard 1 year/20,000km warrantee on it. It did work the other way though...if you bought a "Nissan Ute" you got the Nissan 2 year warrantee as opposed to the one year one Ford put on the XF ute...

last time i checked it was 5 years. I think thats pretty good myself. KIAs are alot better then what there where ten years ago. i was rather impressed by the cerato. yes it might not have as much punch as a falcon etc. but for what it is. there not a bad car. the only gripe i have with them is the base model gets an idiot light instead of a temp gauge!! I look at that gauge more then any other gauge when driving
