When an article containing this kind of an error is published, I wonder



The 3-cylinder, 70-horsepower engine is strong enough for most driving situations, allowing the front-drive coupe to climb the vertiginous streets of San Francisco with surprising gusto.

24/24000 warranty sounds incorrect as well (I hope).

I think the article indicated that the warranty length was to keep the cost down. I have a piece of Canadian literature which states the warranty is 48 months and/or 80,000Kilometers.

I have been lurking on the British site and get the opinion that engine life has been a problem for them. I think with a rice burner we will be better off

Having to compete against a Kia's 10/100k warranty in the same price range, I can't imagine they'll try anything less than a 4/48k. If they do, my old plates will become redundant.
