Just dropped 4500 on brakes (rotors, fluid, pads), tyres, and an oil change on my 2022 Toyota Supra for regular maintenance.
Vehicle:
Toyota Supra
2014 impreza limited hatch — only 90K, routine maintenance (oil changes and replacing as needed brake pads, fluids, brake lights, tires, wipers).
aside from some repairs to back wheels (2 years ago) and a clog in my exhaust system that had to be cleared (7 years ago), this baby has been rollin along fine.
Pros: rollin along fine
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Mileage: 90000 km
I have a 2013 Hyundai accent glass. But it works and no serious issues. Just the common brakes and tires. Great on gas. Has some pep. And fits 5 people easily. Big trunk space.
Pros: Great on gas, fits people
Cons: Audio sucks
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
I have the 2018 (CVT). Bought it secondhand. Daily driven + i already driven it back and forth sa Manila and Baguio 4-5x already this year. I already clocked in 8k sa odo, ang pinaka naging issue ko lang is napudpod na brake pads + motor ng wiper na nasira.
Cons: napudpod na brake pads
Vehicle:
Honda Jazz
Mileage: 8000 km
I have a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe with 30,000 and still has the original pads and aren't worn out yet.
Pros: original pads, not worn
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 30000 km
Akebono pads have a backing for the piston to press into which is what melted.
Cons: backing melted
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
The other thing to consider is if you(r dad) use the default stopping mode for brakes and never press brakes normally, the moment you actually need the brakes they might not be in the best shape because there's some accumulated residua on the disk and what not.
Cons: residua on disk
Avoid the EBC blue stuff pads with those rotors, in case you're looking. They're super squeaky, even after a couple thousand miles, and seem to tend to put deposits on the rotors that make them feel like they're warped.
Cons: super squeaky, warped rotors
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Mileage: 3200 km
I and most would recommend against getting the stock Brembo pads. They are far too soft and when they heat up, excess material sticks to the rotor causing the shaking under braking eventually.
Cons: too soft, shaking under braking
