We bought our HCH CVT with aftermarket leather interior (what cinched the deal- it's really nice) for about $120 over MSRP on Saturday. Both the salesman and the financing guy (2.9 for 48 months!) tried to talk us into the Extended Warranty (and for the same reasons- new technology, etc.), but we declined.

The financing guy finally told us if we changed our mind, we had up until the point where the original warranty ran out to get one, it didn't have to be purchased at the same time we bought the car.
So, if I have problems in the first 30K miles (or first year, the number of miles we'll be driving!), or hear about others that do, we might consider it.

I'm so bummed. I only got to drive it Sun, Mon & Tues and had to bring it back for the leather install- I've got a rental Nissan Murano now, it's hysterical- it also has a button to press for "fuel efficiency", and driving home, in stop and go traffic, in the rain on the Bay Bridge yesterday, it was reading out a lofty 11.0 mpg.

The day before I had gotten 46.5 in the Civic!
