Extended warranty GE or Honda care?
I was at the dealership when I picked up my Honda Civic hybrid 06. Was deciding among the warranties. My dealer only sells GE warranty and it's pretty competitive with the Honda Care warranty. Any feedback on the GE warranty? Should I go with that or consider the honda care from one of the web-sites?
On another note...feels great to have a good mileage car. Looking forward to the tax credits as well.

So go ahead and get the online Honda Care warranty? Also, besides making sure that all logs of the oil change are kept, are there any other records we need to keep to make sure we stay qualified for the warranty? Another question is...when I take the 8year/120K warranty...its essentially increasing the default 3year/36K bumper to bumper warranty to 8year/120K. Right?

It IS pretty comprehensive coverage for most major things, though.
To me it was well worth the $980 just for peace of mind, even if I never use it.
It is also transferrable to a new owner for a $50 fee.

Also, some 2003 and later models, certified as (PZEV), have 15 year or 150,000 mile* emissions warranties essentially covering any component that causes the Check Engine Light to illuminate."
Federal Emissions Warranty – Under the Federal Emissions Warranty, all emissions related parts arecovered for 2 years or 24,000 miles*, with the catalytic converter and engine control unit (the computer)covered for 8 years or 80,000 miles*.
Check your own State for applicable coverage.
