Replying to: dave8697 (Jun 23, 2009 3:13 pm) I've never factored warranty coverage in how I chose a vehicle and I never will. If I like the vehicle and I'm worried about reliability, I'll just buy a longer warranty. I wouldn't buy a G6 if it had a million mile bumper to bumper warranty.

Replying to: dieselone (Jun 23, 2009 6:42 pm) For a while, VWs had a 2/24 warranty and that was enough to strike them off my list without even visiting a dealer. The New GM could make a splash by extending the drivetrain warranty like Hyundai did.

I used to own a 2000 VW Jetta TDI that had the 2/24 warranty. That covered routine maintenance too, like oil changes etc. While I obviously used the maintenance plan, it never received any warranty work or cost me anything out of warranty.

That's when I found Edmunds and I shopped everything from a MPV, Windstar, Siennas to Odysseys. First time I discovered and used the Blast Fax method. So price loomed large. I used the Plymouth warranty on 3 blown head gaskets (otherwise it was a great van for us). Now VW touts their 12 year rust warranty which has won them some fans in New England. Of course, if you're at the dealer all the time, even a great warranty won't make you feel much better about the brand. |
