I just got a 04 rx8 and I read on mazdausa.com website saying that the dealer will provide an alternative transportation in an event a warrantable condition free of charge. I live in the DC area and is just snowed here and I'm alittle worried about driving to work and back, has anyone taken up on this offer? This offer is also offered to 03 models as well.

One of my other cars is an '01 Mazda Tribute EX. The couple times it's been in for a warranty repair, the dealership provided a car through Enterprise Car Rental.

 

I do not think snow is a warrantable condition.

 

A warrantable condition happens when your car breaks down under warranty and it will take so long to fix it that you would be inconvenienced without a vehicle. So, as Rick said, snow isn't going to get you anything.
