Thanks for the info... I did some comparison, but I still need to dig some more. It looks like the Warrantydirect warranty covers a great deal more. It includes rental car coverage plus a bunch of other stuff. They have various plans that cover to a different degree... the one I am looking at is called securexx something or other. It apparently covers most everything on the car. It has an exclusion list, rather than an inclusion list for what parts are covered. Price wise is seems pretty comparable to the HondaCare you mentioned. It is also transferrable.

I plan to drive this car into the ground, so i'm not as worried about transferring a warranty. With my commuting, I also expect to easily pass 100,000 miles in 5 years. To give a bit of wiggle room, maybe i'll look at a 6 year 120,000.

My quandary is.. hondacare makes sense as its from Honda. No doubt about it, its honda and its for their own car. The other one seems to cover a great deal more, but there is a bit of question about whether they'll pay for warranty repairs at a dealership. I'll need to clear that up. Warrantydirect is apparently the only third party online warranty service cleared by the state of CA. At least thats what I heard... *shrug*

Mmm. I am still 50/50 on which way to go.
