No. As you need a warranty that backs you up if you need it. This one puts the onus of proof on you and involves tramping round dealers. Aftersales is so important and it has to be reliable.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Oh Yes. Excessive tyre wear front tyres inside shoulders.Dealer can't pinpoint fault therefore doesn't exist. I now have a 10 month old car off the road and they told me to uplift from garage. Kia no help either. Aftersales service hopeless. Up to me now to diagnose fault. Never had this problem with Hyundai, anything was wrong they dealt with it. Warranty not worth paper it is written on. Pity really as very good car otherwise. Buy another make.
