I have purchased HondaCare warranties in the past & yet to keep the car the whole time. HondaCare has always refunded me a prorated portion of the unused warranty.

I had an Odyssey Touring. The transmission had to be replaced at @ 50k miles. Very unexpected issue for a Honda. So, that alone made it worth it to me.

With the Pilot Touring, all the bells & whistles make me nervous for the long haul. If I going to be paying for this car for 4 years or more, I want everything to be running and working properly - nav, RES, power liftgate,etc.

Also, I have been driving "luxury" cars for several years and am spoiled with the 4yr 50,000 mile warranty. I will hit 50,000 in less than 3 yrs (2 1/2 on my last vehicle). Plus I like the comfort of 24 hr roadside assistance (which I used on my last car) and rental car when in service (have always used).

I like knowing that I have to plan for maintenance, but not other unknowns.

With that said, I think I paid way too much for mine last week. $1720 for 7yr, 100,000 miles. I wonder if it is too late to take that off?
