I've put together some notes about the extended warranties available for the Emira from various posts on this forum and from my reading of the terms and conditions of each. If I've got anything wrong let me know and I'll update this.

Terms and conditions here : https://www.v6pw.co.uk/pages/full-terms
None of the warranties cover paint or bodywork.
None of the warranties cover interior trim, seats etc.
All warranties require that you service your car at the correct intervals and have proof of this.
All warranties exclude certain items, such as wiring, airbags, lights, batteries, fluids etc. to a certain extent, too many details to list here, so check each policy for the details.
All warranties come with some kind of breakdown cover to recover the car to a nearby garage and provide a courtesy car to some extent. But none of the warranties really provide adequate cover that they could replace dedicated breakdown cover and travel insurance - again check each policy for details.
