If you can afford it and planning on holding onto the car for a while, an extended warranty isn't a bad idea. Or you can do like me and just set that warranty money aside in case you need it for repairs. Always a gamble, but I was willing to take that chance with my N55.

First full day out.. I took the time to familiarize myself with the Sport, comfort and ECO modes.
Found myself very happy with the "old geezer" - type feel of ECO mode.. It made me relax and enjoy a soft ride...
HOWEVER, on the way home I went with sports mode and it was an entirely different car.. Truly amazing difference handling and comfort..
I have to be honest.. That N20 has balls when you need it and will be just fine.
