I'm against it, the big ticket costs that occur in the first 100k miles are regular replacement items not warranty items: tires, brakes, fluids, lights, clutch, bearings, etc. It's rare for cars to start seeing expensive things fail before their design lives in this day and age and anything truly defective from the manufacturer would have broken in the first 30k.

Anything widespread that has a chance to affect you (i.e. Porsche IMS Failure) that the factory should honorably covered will likely have the OEM stepping up to replace it, this $1.2 thousand dollars is for the odd fluke that there's a lurking failure waiting to happen, on a product Toyota has placed their name on. And despite the shit Subaru gets, they aren't exactly a disaster manufacturer.

If you decide to buy, read the fine print, it may cover less than you think and written word takes precedence over what the salesman bullshits, something like the door seal may be excluded as a wear item.
