Braking:

can consider a parf volvo with 2-3 years left, i bought a nearly 9 years old 2016 volvo s60 t5, drove 45k km in 10 months, drove to krabi thailand, total spent $2000+ on maintenance for the 45k km i used (mostly wear and tear stuff, things like brake pads, tyres, wipers that jap cars also have to change). honestly damn good car for the price i paid (10.8k depre). 241hp stock, pretty reliable for a conti, and super quiet and comfortable.

Pros: super quiet and comfortable

Cons: wear and tear stuff

Vehicle: Volvo S60

Mileage: 45000 km

Dust:

I'd also replace the brake pads with ceramic (same/less cost than OEM) as they stop better and shed very little brake dust unlike the OEM Volvo units.

Pros: stop better, little brake dust

I have 2005 S60 Turbo as a daily. Bought it brand new in 2005 and she now has 157,000 trouble-free miles. However, being a European car, replacement items can be pretty expensive. I've replaced: brakes and rotors ($1,200).

Pros: trouble-free miles, aged well

Cons: expensive replacement items

Dust:

I currently have TRW NAO pads and zimmerman rotors all around on my S60, very dusty but bites harder than ceramic, especially when they are cold.

Pros: strong cold braking

Cons: very dusty

There is a lot of markup on those parts. A full set of TRW pads for an S60 can be had for a little over $200 inc GST from Repco and Repco ain't cheap.

Pros: pads can be cheap

Cons: parts markup

Braking:

My only problem with it is the turning radius. The brakes aren't what they should be IMO for triple digit speeds but it is rare I drove at such speed being located in the USA.

Pros: reasonable maintenance costs

Cons: poor turning radius
