Just bought a 2024 Mazda CX-5. Was offered all the standard crap the finance guy usually does.
One option he gave me: 10 year, 75K mile electronics warranty. $50 deductible ($100 at other dealers) for $4k, $2k, $1500
We will put about 7500 miles a year on this car.
The CX-5 is a premium model so lots of bells and whistles. Any reason to have warranty on these modern cars?

I had a 2019 cx5 gtr.
I got the 10y/150k mi warranty. Bumper to bumper, via CNA, sold through my dealer. $2400.
During the 2.5y and 80k miles I had it, they replaced 5 folding mirror motors. Like clockwork at 25k mi. I traded at 80k and the 6th was going out. It was about $400 a pop including labor. Zero charge to me, though, no issue with that. I then got $1300 back for canceling contract early, prorated, upon trade.
I always buy a CNA backed max available coverage. I have 10y/120k mi on my Kia ev6 GT from CNA, as we speak.
Eta: CNA covers everything, including a loaner because mirrors are a safety device. No out of pocket. No nothing. It was the same as the factory bumper to bumper experience, if not better. I will only buy CNA or manufacturer warranty.
