My 2021 is now around 75k miles. I’ve changed the oil, tires and brakes.
For example: my 2007 3MZFE Toyota with 227kmi -- considered one of the most reliable drivetrains ever built -- has required brakes, a wheel bearing, an intake rubber coupler, an alternator, and power steering lines replacement this year alone.
I’ve had my Toyota 4Runner for 13 years now. Never needed to change my brakes or encountered catastrophic engine failures. Maybe lucky but per Toyota, the 4Runner is rated for 22 MPG on the highway and I’m getting 23.5 MPG.
Didn't need to even change the break pad more then once. Never need to to add oil because it never burned any. Even on its last oil change no sign of burning or sludge build up.
amazing truck - I daily drove one in California (gasoline 1fz-fe is arguably the best Toyota motor ever IMO) for several years. Geared for off-road, doesn't cruise comfortably on freeways above ~70mph. 12-13 miles per gallon city or highway, always the same number. It never stranded me, so very reliable.
Stock brake pads lasted 3 track days which is insane for £65. Ive never had such good stock pads, I nearly always upgraded them and I'd never use stock pads on track as thats mental, but these are insane.
DS2500’s were the best hybrid pads I’ve used. But I only did 1-2 a year.
Fairly okay with the ferodo ds2500, they're not made for longer than 20min sessions tho. They will fade and overheat.
I’m running DS2500 on my GTI and they are just not *quite* robust enough as I have progressed into the more advanced groups.
I disagree with most on daily driving the 80. I find it reasonably accessible to drive regularly with one exception: the brakes. Most people are used to their cars stopping at a moments notice and the stock brakes in the 80s suck.
