I recieved this letter today from Acura welcoming into the Acura family (It's not my first Acura, since i had a Legend before this car, but still a nice touch on their part):

And this is the card that was referred to in the letter:

Certified Warranty Exp Date: Exp Milage
Powertrain 9/2/2006 100k
Non Powertrain 9/2/2004 62k

My questions are these does the non-powertrain mean what i think it does in that it is essentially an extension of the bumper to bumper warranty? and Has anyone here used the roadside assistance stuff? Is it any good?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Yup, non-powertrain is just an extension to your bumper-to-bumper. Just a little advice, make sure that you get any major appearance defects taken care of before 50K. The black tape around the doors on my 99 was peeling when I bought it and I never really paid attention to it. Then, I went to the dealer to have it repaired, under warranty, and they wouldn't do it b/c I was over 50K. No "appearance" repairs after 50K.
