I dissagree with everyone here that says the warranty is not needed. On this car it is very much needed. I had my car longer than most (5 years owning it and bought new in 2005) so I have seen all the typical problems. Thank God I had some type of coverage. I just doubled by money with what I paid for extended coverage Vs. what I have already fixed with free rentals. And I still have a year left to go.

Don't get me wrong... this car is solid. When I drove it everyday for years little problems would come up. Now that I only drive the car on weekends it has been more problem free (maybe because I worked out all the kinks). But when something stupid breaks it could easily cost you $800 dollars. I have been down that road many of times and I am happy I never had to pay out of pocket.

My only issue is that I think most people here paid way too much for their extended warranties.
