Followed by a sweeping view from a helicopter
Finally meandering to the edge of an amazing precipiss

Then we thought.... It just doesn't need it.... Like you thought that Mr Kia Sportage

You really thought its not a Freelander 2 and you would get stuck in a inch of mud

Park the Sportage get a proper 4x4

Got to hand it to the Kia's though, if Land Rover gave a 7 year warranty they would be bankrupt in a very short time!!

Perhaps Kia have the same reliability issues just sell fewer so don't have as much to spend on warranty claims

Would be nice to think so  2002 Honda VFR800

To be honest, it may not cost Land Rover a huge amount more to give the longer warranty, when you read the posts on here, most work has been carried out in the first 3 years.

To offer a 5 or 7 year warranty just sends out the right message about how confident a manufactorer is about its product.

Land Rover warranty is better than Kia in first three years, being unlimited mileage as opposed to Kia, with a 100k limit, after 3 years LR will provide extended warranty at a cost, Kia will extend warranty BUT only up to the 100k ceiling provided it has not been exceeded in the first 3 years.
It is marketing nonsense designed to attract buyers to the brand by any means they can.

Am I the only one who has no f g clue what this thread is about? ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

The Mod is looking to change his Freely before long and is contemplating the Kia Sportage and is just testing the water to see how loudly members of the forum will if he takes the plunge

It's also to do with the recent TV advert for the Kia - which refers to the opening thread statements!

I'm sure you'll find it on youtube somewhere - perhaps Mr pinks has it downlaoded already !!!! 2002 Honda VFR800
