Factory Warranty - Best 2011 Car Manufacturer Warranties

A new car factory warranty is often not the first element considered when purchasing a new car, but it is one of the most important when considering overall value. The bumper-to-bumper manufacturer's warranty, also known as the Basic Factory Warranty, covers at least 3 years for all major car brands with a few exceptions.

Here are the best new car, bumper-to-bumper, factory-backed warranties for 2011:

5 years / 60,000 miles - Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Volvo

5 years / 50,000 miles - Jaguar

4 years / 60,000 miles - Infiniti

4 years / 50,000 miles - Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes, Mini, Porsche, Saab

Many auto makers extend the engine, transmission, and driveline components past the comprehensive warranty, but these coverages have not been listed because the majority of repairs will not be covered under a powertrain warranty. Powertrain warranties add considerable value only if they extend to 100,000 miles or more. For this reason, the best factory warranty for 2011 is provided by Hyundai, Kia, and Mitsubishi. Their 5 year bumper-to-bumper warranty is complemented by a 10 year / 100,000 mile powertrain warranty.
