Default Ford new car warranty - is 3years/100,000 good enough?

A thread designed to explore opinions on whether Fords current new car warranty is enough in comparison to other manufacturers.

They currently offer 3 years or 100,000kms - granted this is in line with most new car warrantys.

My last two novated lease vehicles have been from Hyundai and now Mitsubishi as their 5 year warranty enables me to sell the car after 3 or 4 with new car warranty still attached.

If Ford did a 5 year wty I would have looked seriously at their Diesel Territory.

When they are struggling in areas with their product and in an extremely competitive market, would/could/should they offer better? Would it not help them shift product?

Should they take the initiative and get in line with the 5 year unlimited kms offered by others? They took forever to get kuga here, to get lpi happening, to get diesel into the Territory and to offer decent airbag protection throughout the range... is this another area they'll drag their feet on?
