I test drove the xD recently and found the ride to be really pleasant, even with the four-speed. I love how the car is relatively unlit inside, lacking any screens or unnecessary lights. I managed to find a manual (the only one so far), and I'd love to try that out. One thing that piqued my interest, though, was warranties. What sort of recommendations or advice can you guys offer regarding this aspect of the car?
For example, and this was just from a cursory glance, but I noticed that one warranty cost $1250 at the dealership, so this is quite expensive. I can't remember the rest of the packages/prices because I was just on a test drive and the salesman introduced us to how we would buy the car if we were interested, showing the no-haggle approach, accessories, and the warranties. On the Scion website, it doesn't list any warranties that one pays extra for; all I see is what's listed here:

Since I didn't expect this, I'm not sure what to think of it. Are these extras? Are they recommended? Upon further research from this website, it looks like a pro/con sort of situation:
