Buy a domestic and you'll NEED that 100,000 mile warranty. Quite frankly, I've NEVER needed to use the warranty on ANY of my Honda's (I've owned 4.) My first Honda was a Civic that went 515,000 miles on the original engine and drivetrain. The second one was an Accord that went 450,000 miles on the original engine and drivetrain. The third was another Accord that went 200,000 miles without a single repair. And my current Honda is a Civic that now has 30,000 miles on it, and I haven't needed the warranty on it either.
However, with my domestics, I was very thankful that I had a nice warranty, they were always breaking down on me so I really needed that warranty!

I totally agree. We've never once had a mechanical problem with any domestic while it was in warranty, but it is nice to have that peace of mind. Two of our cars (both GM) now have over 80,000 miles on them and neither has ever required a single repair.
