Brake pads OEM Honda or OEM KIA
I've done about 4000 miles on it this year and it's really grown on me. It's comfortable enough, the brakes are really good, the abs isn't overly intrusive. The handling is decent, the geometry is definitely more about stability than agility.
Pros: comfortable, good brakes
Cons: stability over agility
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 6437 km
For the record, my wife has a 2014 Honda Odyssey with 175,000km on it and she's had zero problems aside from normal stuff like changing her brakes and whatnot. That thing is a tank.
Pros: zero problems
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Mileage: 175000 km
Alright to offer some professional advice from someone who works on these for a living. The front brakes are 95% or more worn, it's a little unclear but at best there is about 1mm of brake pad left and new I believe the pads come at about 11mm.
Pros: professional advice
Cons: brakes are worn
Vehicle:
Honda
Rev matching is better for the brake pads... and it sounds cool lol. Same reason I rev match downshift in my Honda Civic.
Pros: better for the brake pads
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
It’s got 102,700kms on the clock and owned it since new. I’m still on my first set of brake pads.
Pros: long lasting

Put in some aftermarket front brake pads too.
Vehicle:
Honda
I had aftermarket front brakes installed by a local mechanic for around $300. They ended up squeaking constantly and just didn’t feel right. I eventually had them redone with genuine Honda brakes at the dealership — it cost me $575, but the difference was night and day. No noise, smooth feel, and it came with a 12-month warranty.
Pros: no noise, smooth feel
Cons: squeaking constantly
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
First set lasted 70k, the second set 50k as I was cheap and did the pad slap.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: premature wear
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 70000 km
2019 civic. Replaced front pads and rotors at 90k miles but only because road salt fucked up rotors which caused the pads to wear unevenly.
Cons: uneven wear, rotor damage
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 90000 km
my 08 Accord went through rear pads every 18-20K miles. They were way too soft.
Cons: too soft, short life
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 19000 km
