IMO the ones with the longer warranties are generally the ones trying to convince the marketplace that they have a quality product. Obviously there are some exceptions (Mazda for example), but as a generalisation I think it’s pretty much true.

if the marketplace demands something, manufacturers will respond. Take CarPlay for example - Mazda and Toyota pretty much aren’t interested in it for Australia because people don’t walk out of a dealership because they can’t get CarPlay. But they won’t step foot in a dealership to start with if they aren’t convinced the warranty support is what they need... my opinion only of course.

Yep - Mazda moved to a 5 year warranty at the beginning of August.

For 60 days only.

Just means they'll tell the dealers to aim the parts cannon at it to avoid replacing it.

Every car can be fixed. Just depends how much money they're prepared to spend in doing so.

However, I refuse to apply the 'lemon' tag to anything less than a structural fault that can't be practically repaired.

For 60 days only.

How long do you think it should be?

VW Australia to offer refunds, replacements for 'major defects'

"... the brand offer refunds or replacement vehicles within 60 days of purchase if a “major failure” occurs ..."

I wonder what definition the ACCC or VW use as major failure to trigger a replacement new car ?
