Zurich vs FORD
I have decided to go with the Zurich instead of the FORD ESP. The number one reason is that the Z term begins when you sign the contract, unlike the FESP, which begins at the time the vehicle was originally purchased. So a 72 month on my 2008 LR3 will give me warranty until 2016 with Z, but only until 2014 with FESP. The mileage condition is the same for both. I am reading both contracts right now and are pretty much the same for major items. I also got a quote from EasyCare. Good reputation, very well recommended by several LR dealers, but almost twice as much as Z. I am taking my local LR dealer recommendation (since they deal with them) on this one. But like everything else, time will tell.

I have the Zurich warranty on my e39 BMW -- experience has been fantastic -- the comprehensive plan is truly bumper-to-bumnper and their claims are no hassle. Have had radiator, water pump, bushings, window regulator repaired (has more than paid for itself).
I'm debating between the Ford ESp and the Zurich plan for my 06 HSE, but my BMW dealers no longer sells the zurich warranty so I was about to launch a search for a LR dealer that does... please advise, thanks!
