Hyundai didn't start the 10yr/100K warranty until 1999 (13 years after they started selling cars in the US.) Hyundai's warranty isn't all that much better regardless of what their marketing says. Sure they have a 5yr/60K bumper-to-bumper and a 10yr/100K powertrain, but they fail to advertise that the battery is covered for 3yrs, paint is covered for 3yrs/36K, radio/navigation is 3yr/36K, belts, hoses, etc are 1yr/12K. A/C refrigerant is 1yr/12K. They do not offer any free maintenance. If you end up with an engine or transmission problem, Hyundai will want complete detailed maintenance history of the vehicle before even considering a warranty claim. If you do your own oil changes and routine maintenance, good luck getting warranty coverage if you have a failure. Dealers relentlessly try to upsell you when you go in for oil changes.
