each poster makes good points. if you do decide to go hondacare, check out this site also http://www.hondacuraworld.com/ it's run by the manager of the parts department of the dealer i bought my accord from. i've only purchased some parts from them so far, but their prices can't be beat in that department. i've been told by a buddy who recently bought a hondacare warranty for his mdx, that they had the best prices also. so give em a look. if nothing else, you've done some good research.
