honda or toyota. civic, accord, camry, corolla, avalon.
parts and service are cheap. not much goes wrong. i had a 08 civic lx from 50k miles to 150k miles. only thing i had done were brake discs and ac replacement.
Since enrolling in the daily death-race a year ago, I've: Replaced the Serp. Belt and idler, adjusted the valves, changed CVT oil and its filter a couple times, swapped O2 and Mass airflow sensors, replaced front brake rotors and pads, upgraded headlamps and added an Acura switched light for the rear so I can turn it off and leave the hatch open. I've got the set of drums and pads for the back waiting for a good day - that should fix whatever caused the parking brake to seize until I stopped setting it last winter.
Buy Honda ones from the Honda dealership
The front and rear bearings were replaced, new rotors and calipers for both, with mk4 rear calipers and the larger 11.3” driver’s edition calipers and rotors from the brake bible, with their new lines, pads
I already have installed front 345mm rotors and calipers/carriers/shields/lines) from a 2008 R32/Passat V6 4-MO. So that works.
Yup. My front were grooved, rears were "diagnosed" as warped by VW techs. 12k miles. New pads and rotors has 7000 miles, haven't noticed anything yet.
I had my rotors replaced at 32345 miles with aftermarket brake pads back ordered. 2 months later bad vibration took back to,dealer bad rotors and pads feels good but now rears are squeaking lmao
Not only does my '22 SE have the most atrocious grind and squeak all of you know, i have a nasty groove in one of them. I'm going to all new rotors and aftermarket pads when it comes time.
Service from VW is what made me stop buying them. My wife's Passat was the last straw. We took it in a couple of months after we got the car complaining of a shake in the brakes through the steering wheel. They said it didn't have one even though I knew the rotors were warped.
I purchased a 2021 Jetta with approx. 14,xxx miles on it. After a 4 hour drive, I noticed what sounded like an extremely rusty brake rotor sound (metal/metal grinding) as well as the sound of an unbalanced wheel or un-evenly worn tire. A local VW dealership reported that both rear tires were showing major cupping and that the brake rotors were so rusted that they were pitting and would not pass VA state safety inspection.
