    MG started offering a lifetime warranty for the battery and drivetrains in Thailand.

    It confirms what the article is saying, manufacturers know with their experience that the rest of the car will break before the battery or the motor does.

      How long does MG consider to be a lifetime? I’m daily driving a 32 year old car.

      Edit: Ok, I looked it up. It’s an unlimited-mile warranty for the first 12 months. After that, it lasts up to 80,000 miles or 7 years, whichever comes first. This is less than the battery warranty for many other brands. This kind of advertising should be illegal, but they placed “lifetime” in quotes, so I guess everyone’s cool with it. Actually, it looks like that might be the old warranty, effective in 2019. I’m having trouble finding the actual terms for the new warranty, but I wanted to correct myself first.

      MG is still making cars? I haven’t seen anything from them in decades!

          I loved the B and the Midget that they made in, I think the 70’s. Might have been 60’s. My mom’s friend had both when I was a kid.

        It was bought out by a Chinese company from what I’d heard.
