They don't cover RX8's crygo due to the unreliability of the car...

Ive never ever heard of any warranty scheme worth the paper its written on.
Honestly, don't bother with it. Its nothing but a big con.

Dealer warranty direct (warranty direct from the dealer) - was fine when I claimed. The part on question was an exchange item which I kept and claimed back money on, so not only did it get replaced but I made money on it.

this is not a warranty its a breakdown cover so when you breakdown you must call out the aa and they will arrange for the repair to be carried out,as for cost i think it depends on the vehicle mine is something like £7 per month on top of the normal breakdown cover cost just ring them they will tell you over the phone

So they dont pay for the repair ????
Whats the point of the cover then, your paying them £7 a month for picking up a phone and booking your car into a repair shop.
