Only a fool buys insurance to supplement the warranty. It is priced so that you always end up paying more. Similar to going to a casino to get rich.

If a car is so unreliable as to need supplementary insurance, then why waste money on it?

Supplemental warranty insurance is irrelevant to the topic: a relationship between a manufacturer's warranty and product reliability. Longer manufacturer warranties claiming to cover more indentify unreliable products.

Charts for supplemental coverage are irrelevant to the manufacturer's warranty. And completely irrelevant to what was discussed. If the manufacture hypes a best warranty, then his products is typically unreliable. In the end, costing the consumer more money (with or without supplemental warranty insurance).
