...Suggest you don't read the Kia/Hyundai warranty thread in the Motoring section...
lancara,
I suggest you do read that thread.
You would then discover actual quality has little to do with it.
The public perceive some makes as fringy and a risky purchase, so those makes offer a longer warranty to reassure prospective customers.
Back to tellys, my local retailer offers five-year warranties on LG and Samsung.
Sony are arguably better-respected, but their marketing men may have found they still needed to offer an extended warranty to compete.
You could say Sony are like Ford/VW, and the likes of Samsung and LG are the equivalent of Kia/Hyundai.
