I changed my wife's KIA Soul pads at 60k miles. Used OEM pads. Checked a month or two ago and they were still halfway through. She is at 200k miles.
Pros: long lasting

Mileage: 60000 km
I have a 2015 Kia Soul I bought new. In over 9 years, not a single thing has gone wrong with it - no repairs of any kind. Just oil, brakes and tires.
Pros: no repairs of any kind
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
Lastly, I had the well-known brake pad deposit problem on the rotors, which over time (about 5-6k miles for me) would cause the steering wheel and car to shake a bit when breaking, similar to the feeling you get when the rotors are warped. I had the rotors cut once, then all four rotors and pads replaced, and then the front rotors were replaced again. As many other Stinger owners online have said, once they replaced the stock rotors and pads with a good set of aftermarket rotors and pads, or some even just machining their stock rotors and getting new aftermarket pads, that seems to have solved the issue for them.
Pros: aftermarket pads solved issue
Cons: brake pad deposit problem
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 20700 km
The rotors/brake pads are notoriously bad. The oem pads leave uneven deposits on the rotor. Causes shaking while braking. Ive replaced rotors twice. Got better pads and drilled and slotted rotors. No issues since.
Pros: better pads, drilled rotors
Cons: uneven deposits, shaking
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 109000 km
I’m at around 104k in my 3, on original pads but had an issue with the rear clips causing some squeaks and need to replace those.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: squeaking, clip issue
Mileage: 104000 km
Got a 60k MYLR, my pads and rotors seem fine but I keep getting this super loud squeal sound when I brake.
Cons: loud squealing
Mileage: 60000 km
I just dropped $5500 fuckin dollars on my 19 X Performance for brakes and suspension at the service center. Had some ugly noises going on but I was floored when they gave me the estimate. I went 90k on my Prius before doing the brakes and that’s w waaaay less regen! So pissed. The estimate was actually $7500 w tires, stupid fuckin 22s - someone please learn from my mistake and don’t get those god awful heavy wheels!
Cons: expensive repair, noisy brakes
Mileage: 70000 km
