Brake pads OEM Subaru or OEM Audi
I have a 2021 District Green Q5e / tan interior and it has been a fantastic car for my use case. 55% City driving means little to no gas use with home charging. Lots of road trips too, it’s a fast highway cruiser. 50k miles so far.
I replaced the brakes myself around 95k miles. Dealership said they were fine but I replaced them anyway.
BRZ is roomier, neutral steering and has the best feel brakes of any car that I’ve owned including the S2k.
Brakes will last forever since I use so much regen.
better steering, better brakes
the rear brakes did go bad at 35,000 but Subaru said that was an issue with defective brake pads from the factory and they paid for the replacements and they have been fine ever since.
I think the brake pedal has a good feel, but I absolutely have had an "oh shit" moment when I was cruising at 70mph and had to brake for traffic. They definitely underperform for a "sporty" car. But I wouldn't say they suck or dangerous
Stock pads are ass and spongy.
None of those vehicles had as garbage brakes or any problem stopping way before getting near hitting another car in an emergency braking situation ever.
The base model brakes on the 2022 WRX are the least confidence inspiring brakes I’ve ever encountered.
