As a engineer, we usually plan a safty factor of 1.5. So under 36,000 mile normal warranty, most thing will work up to 36,000 x 1.5 = 54,000 miles.
Plan on having problems after 50,000 miles. Power Window, seal, starter, hose. etc. parts and service for starter or power window is $1000 each at the dealer. They charge $150 for diagnotics, 1 hours of labor minimum, etc here in California.
I got 100K/7 year servicde contract for $1150. I know that most problems will start after 4 years and 50k. Since labor cost here is twice as much as rest of the country, the service contract is reasonable.
If you plan to tow and drive over 100K in 6 years, I would defintitely get the extended warranty.
If you do not tow and drive less than 50k in 7 years. i would definitely not get the extended warranty.
I am some where in between and I dont trust first year productions. (Sorry, guys.) No matter how hard Honda tries, they will make mistakes in first year prodcution. I can think a dozen stupid mistakes they make but will happily overlook them.
