Honda is offering a free upgrade to a seven-year, unlimited kilometre warranty across selected models until December 31.

The Japanese manufacturer only recently announced its standard five-year/unlimited kilometre factory warranty, though this latest promotion – launched in early November – takes it one step further to match current industry leader, Kia.

Models in the campaign include the Accord, City, Civic, HR-V, Jazz, and Odyssey. Interestingly, the new 2018 CR-V isn’t covered by the promotional warranty – though it’s available as an extra cost extended warranty.

      Most Citroen cars build specific for showroom, main reason begin too many issues(big/small) also waiting parts you're looking at least 4+ months. One of the best Showroom car since it can't go anywhere.

        No capped price servicing though

        • This Guy on 27/11/2017 - 18:56

          Depends on the make. Jazz's have 5 years capped price servicing, with two oil changes a year, one at $250, one at $300. The scheduled items have their price listed in the capped price details, but not directly as part of their capped price servicing scheme. Honda's 7 year warranty T&C's very heavily imply that you must use Honda Parts to maintain your warranty.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/11/2017 - 20:18

          @This Guy:
          So they are behind the times with mandatory 6 month servicing. They also cannot force you to use genuine parts for any service, as long as the replacement parts are fit for purpose (unless they give them to you for free, genuine cannot be mandated). And only 1 model with capped servicing too, hello Honda, 2007 called and wants it’s ideas back.

        • This Guy on 02/12/2017 - 00:59

          @Test Tickles:

          You are entitled to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

          That said, no manufacturer can warrant repairs and parts it has no control over. A seven year warranty is a voluntary promotion from Honda, and is not ACL.

          I have heard of ACL requiring you to operate the vehicle as directed, including serving every six month if mandated by the manufacturer.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/12/2017 - 09:27

          @This Guy:
          Not saying you have ACL for not getting maintained outside manufacturing mandates, just saying you don’t have to use genuine parts and servicing as long as the parts used are from a reputable company (wesfil,ryco,NGK,etc). The manufacturer would have to find causation of the part (e.g aftermarket oil filter) to cause a failure (e.g failed fuel pump) which is impossible to do. Similarly if an engine bearing fails, they need to prove wrong oil, incompatible oil filter before denying the claim.

        • This Guy on 03/12/2017 - 18:48

          @Test Tickles:

          Modern oils have different mixes of detergent's, anti foaming agents, etc., making the viscosity different. Same with oil filters. They are designed with different sized pores and flow rates.

          Aftermarket parts will still work, but the manufacture's recommended oil may have a property to counter a design flaw, like noisy lifters in certain v6's.

          For example I am using an aftermarket oil in my car that reduces vibrations as the oil ages (manufacturer recommended oil was only lasting ~6,000km's). My engine now stays smooth to at least 12,000kms. Now my engine is slowly eating oil, indicating that the aftermarket oil is missing a component that reduces ware.

          I have never met a chemist specialising in oil engineering. You local parts store, mechanic and dealership definitively don't have one. A manufacturer can't warrant people making uneducated guesses as to which 5W-30 oil has the right properties to prevent damage to the engine.

        • otter-raptor on 27/11/2017 - 12:05

          @pitiek: I drive 450 - 500 km a week, so I went for the 1.4TSI for fuel sake ( but the car is brilliant even in the smaller engine ), but I'd have gone the RS if I drove less km. If you are looking at Passat Wagon, look at Superb too, it has the best space and usability and won the Car of the year too

          P.S both Skoda and VW offer flet pricing to many companies, so check with your company if they have an agreement as this will save a few thousands

          @pitiek: I didn't know this was available for me, so I went without it and was spewing, so I make it a point to let everyone else know that this option is available

          One of my colleague's mate got an RS for $42K when he should have paid $50k+ ( choosing all the options ), there is a sizeable discount and play the fleet card after final negotiations and the dealer won't be dissed as the factory compensates them for it .

  • xyron on 27/11/2017 - 10:28

    its too pricey but this would make the civic type R a more enticing proposition for sure. as it stands though, i'd probably still prefer a focus RS.

    this would, however, make the jazz a more enticing proposition over the other city cars in the market (although in my view, it is already one of the best, by virtue of its versatile seating and class-leading storage capacity).

      Accord Euro was the Accord for Japan, but low sales due to costs of car ownership and shift towards Kei cars meant the end of the Accord Euro. It wasn't officially sold in South East Asia and USA wished that it came with a V6, so they developed their own Acura TL. I think China made their own Accord Euro too. Not enough volume (I think only Australia and UK had RHD versions) and the low LHD demand from the US due to the launch of the TL meant it made no business sense to develop a new one.

        I can't comment on the new civic - but I can definitely say from experience that Honda's quality and reliability did drop when they stopped manufacturing the cars in Japan.

        That said, the 90s era Hondas were bloody indestructible - so they went from being virtually indestructible to still a fairly reliable car.

          @aerona:

          Yeah they're not exactly unreliable cars - but they're just not the same honda quality of old. My family has had a history of hondas - dad had an 03 civic which had plenty of problems, including a blown transmission (which is a known issue for that gen).

          I think the only area where honda has maintained their reputation is with their bikes, which are still made in japan.

    • illumination on 27/11/2017 - 11:56

      As Risto said, it's really not about matching anyone's warranty.

      If you were offered an extra 2 years of warranty on anything you owned (assuming all else stayed the same), whether it be a fridge, TV, computer, laptop, or car, you would consider that a win, surely?

      Unless a car is designed to support a 7 year warranty it would be silly to give one. These 7 year warranty promotions don't mean these cars are better. They are reducing discounting now for warranty costs in the future in the hope that they can move towards a retail, no negotiation sales model in the future like Tesla.

      Good luck with that. Way too many variables for cars - Servicing, how it's been driven etc.

      If you can prove you have a dealership service history then there's chances of the manufacturer/dealer coming to the party, but it's not often that the ACCC has any effect on warranties after they expire.

      Forget about ACL. It's a long and expensive process. Even when your car is STILL under warranty, claiming a major fault can be a huge huge battle. My 3yo Mazda 6 had a major fault (required oil changes every 4000km) and Mazda disputed this for 9 months.

      ACL = go to a tribunal and assert your claim = paying for an independent report = engineer's report = $2000

      It took about 50 phone calls, 9 months, a new website dedicated to my fault, for Mazda to renege and compensate me for my car problems.

      Warranty means F* ALL. THe problem I had was really common too. I met 5 others with the same problem, in Sydney alone. Had many others contact me online. Mazda mechanic at my local gym said his dealership had 6 cars in for total engine replacements. Huge cover-up.

      For me, 7 year warranty doesn't mean much when 2 years in they won't fix what needs to be fixed. Can't imagine what they would be telling you in year 7.

    What's happened to Honda, they used to make really nice looking cars years ago, now they look awful?

    Much prefer the look of Mazda over Honda.

        Blame the government, I bought a brand new $40K Honda that had clutch shudder.

        Even a brand new car and the warranty was worthless.

        Ended up trading it in and buying another brand.

        Our lemon laws are piss weak.

      Most have that, covers themselves from 18 year olds who put on cold air intakes with a leg stocking as a filter and other dumb things.
