Not sure about Toyota, but Honda offers you a standard 5 year/60,000 mile warranty compared to Nissan's 3 year/36,000 miles. But they (Honda) also offers an extended warranty to 10 years/120,000 miles for about 1.5% of the purchase price.

That is the kind of confidence that the non government owned car makers have in their product. Take a look at KBB for a Nissan, Toyota, Subaru or Honda with over 200,000 miles. They will still list close to $2,000 or more. Your equivalent size in GM or Chrysler won't even tick to $1,000 in most cases if they are still on the road which most aren't.

Toyota’s warranty is 3/36 as well.

Honda’s warranty is currently 5/60 because they had some *really* bad 5 speed automatics in the 2000s and they pissed off a whole bunch of people.

Most mainstream manufacturers offer various extra cost ‘extended warranties’ to 10/120 for about the same price. This is not unusual at all in the industry.

KBB does not always reflect market reality and market pricing does not always reflect the quality of the product. Been associated with the car industry off and on for about 20 years now - but right now I don’t own any domestic vehicles. I would also point out that there’s a LOT of Subarus with 200K not in the Blind Subaru Fanboy areas of the US that are going for pocket change.
