Ask Smithy Xtra Warranty value on Honda Civic
Asked by Judy Anderson
I am a widow and have just bought my first car, a Honda Civic Si, which I am happy with. But I have been offered a Honda Assured Extended Warranty for 2 years or 40,000 km including five years Premium roadside assist at a cost of $795. I have RACV cover, so should I go with Honda or not?

1 Jun 2010Personally I wouldn’t, the Honda should be reliable enough not to need the extra warranty period, and the RACV roadside assistance is as good as you would get from Honda. In fact the RACV provides the roadside services for most of the carmakers anyway. If you choose to take up Honda’s offer check who it is that is actually providing the warranty, it might be the dealer and not actually Honda itself, and carefully check what the warranty covers so you understand what it is you are getting for your money. Quite frankly these extended warranties are mostly money making deals for the car companies and not much else.
