Brake pads OEM Mazda or OEM Audi
I’ve two cars, a V6 sedan and a Mazda exactly like this. I depended mostly on my Mazda, which I’ve had for 3 years with an automatic transmission. I absolutely love it- it has never let me down. It always starts and goes, and I’ve even left it idling for hours many days with no issues. Apart from brake pads and regular oil changes, I haven’t had to do anything to it.
Pros: never let me down
Cons: fragile drain plug
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’ve got a 2020 Turbo with 83,000 miles. Great car. Very reliable. Did do full brakes at 74,000 miles. Lots of power, love the car.
Pros: lots of power, very reliable
Mileage: 133575 km

Back in the early 1980s I remember how peer pressure kept guys at our Mazda dealerships from blowing brakes clean during inspections and repairs.
Pros: wet cleaning procedures

Mazda
I put 220,000 miles on a Mazda six sport automatic transmission 2015 before my son wrecked it without doing anything except changing in the brakes and some steering parts and of course oil changes synthetic it had started to use a little oil between changes maybe a quart.
Pros: synthetic oil changes
Cons: used a little oil
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 354055 km
No. Looks perfectly normal.

Pacific Mazda has been okay; they only pushed an unnecessary break maintenance so far.
Cons: unnecessary maintenance
Probably need to change the brake pads if they are uneven or glazed.
Cons: uneven or glazed

Similar thing happened to me today, vehicle is 2023 cx-50, 25k mile, not even 2 year, in upstate ny with weekly car wash, gentle on gas and brake. They said front pads are 30%, rear pads are 50%, quoted me $600 to get new front pad & rotor, and rear brake service(cleaning, lubrication). Just 2 month ago from another mechanic's report (same delear), all pads are above 50%. I don't think it's that bad that both pad and rotor need to be replaced, so I denied the work,
Cons: expensive repair, unnecessary
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 25000 km
Mazda. Brakes. Suck. I’ve owned 2 6s. A 2018 and a 2021. Both needed brakes at around 20k. DO NOT REPLACE WITH MAZDA OE BRAKES. Or you’ll just be in the same boat again. Buy a set of PowerStops and be done with it.
Cons: brakes wear quickly
