Exactly! What is something much more major happens? 5 yrs is due for wear and tear, even for the so called god-car.

Anyway, this is like buying insurance. Gives you a piece of mind for the next 5-yrs.

Better read the fine print properly. I doubt wear and tear items are included. Even for non-wear and tear items certain items may be excluded like easy to fail parts like AC compressors.

What peace of mind? When it comes to warranty claims there is always a risk it will be refused based on:
1) It's a wear and tear item (by their own definition)
2) It's not covered (the fine print doesn't say anything about it)
3) It's your fault
4) You added an unauthorized accessory which affected the part.

Assuming you are using vios, the RM1.5k can serve as your repair fund. Since its a Toyota, it won't spoil that easily.

I think best you don't extend your warranty.

Best advice ever. By paying, you will:
- give donate to them foc RM1.5k and you get nothing.
- you are stucked with servicing your car under useless service centers for 2yrs extra.
- you agreed to do oil change that is 4x the labor cost of usually oil change.
- usually warranty term: wear & tear and consumables are not included. I can bet this extension is only for engine and gearbox only. read your service booklet, it state what or which parts are under what kind of warranty (like 30k km, 60k km, etc), eg. body & paint work (rust) is 10yrs. It might even state your compressor warranty is first 60k km or 1st year.


Unless your car is VW with DSG, don't bother with warranty extension for Toyota from UMW.

(or just change your car to Honda, you get 5yrs for free).

Agreed. But then again, this is my opinion. It is a small sum compared to the amount paid for the car. And well, no one gonna put a gun to your head to buy these options - the choice is yours.
