I am a big believer in extended warranties for these modern high tech vehicles.
Why? Because a single system failure out of warranty can cost you thousands of dollars.. and I am not talking bout the power-train or chassis or drive train. It is all the electronic subsystems that concern me and they are literally everywhere and touch just about every key feature in the vehicle.
That said.. for my Hondas.. I will only buy an actual HondaCare policy.. not any form of 3rd party policy. Why? Because I want to avoid the cross-finger pointing between Honda, a Honda Dealer, and a 3rd party warranty and service from said warranty at a non-Honda maintenance facility. The costs are comparable, if you shop wisely, and it puts all responsibility for warranty service on Honda. It also means all connectivity between the factory warranty and an extended warranty are tracked and managed within a single data base owned by Honda.
