I've also felt it was kind of a waste of money because I've never had the amount of $ to repair my car exceed what I paid for the warranty. I guess that's just a testament to the car in the first place. Twice I've had to bring my car in for ''major'' repair and both times the part of the steering column that required fixing wasn't' on the warranty list and was attributed to normal wear & tear, so I ended up having to pay for it.
Even with not having some parts under that extended warranty, I would still recommend getting it. Mazdas for the most party are pretty sturdy, reliable cars. But all it takes is one break on something big and your then screwed forking the money out of your own pocket. And like someone said, if you buy it you won't need it. If you don't buy it, you'll end up needing it. Also it is transferable.

Awesome thanks for the info. I'd have to confirm if the roadside assistance is part of the package we're looking at, but even that's a $125/year touch through CAA, so over 5 years the value on that is over $600.
