Depends on whether you are planning to mod your car (such as engine), as doing that would almost always void your warranty.

owners before Oct 2010 need to pay
this is a new model and advisable to take up longer warranty to have peace of mind

EWP covers engine, GB, steering, acond, electronics except wear & tear items

What peace of mind! One owner after taking delivery found wind screen scratched. Running up and down to SC like a dog for months already for replacement. Till today waiting for wind screen from Korea. So what peace of mind if they don`t even stock simple spares!

Read the T & C carefully, as far I know, no EWP covers all items! EWP with these monkeys does not give you peace of mind!

First of all don't too fast jump into conclusion...that fellow go to dealer or branch?....is it under insurance claim?....any issue from insurance co coz ori fr. korea (with UV coated) cost 1.5K! ?....and EWP and windscreen insurance are 2 seperate things!

I knew 1 case where the owner got replacement in < 2 weeks time with insurance claim!
There are stocks of windscreen (ori from korea) in most of the branches
There are even aftermarket windscreen at 1/2 price from places like Dr. Cermin etc.
Don't simply blow out of proportion lar.... dry.gif

repeat again to those too lazy to read!
