2011 2.5 Outback, just turned 255,000 miles. One set of brake pads
2022 Outback, 144k, never had any problems. Have replaced tires, brakes,and the battery. Follow all mfg recommendations for service. Always dealer serviced. Very happy with mine.
2014 impreza limited hatch — only 90K, routine maintenance (oil changes and replacing as needed brake pads, fluids, brake lights, tires, wipers).
aside from some repairs to back wheels (2 years ago) and a clog in my exhaust system that had to be cleared (7 years ago), this baby has been rollin along fine.
My energy cost per mile is 1/5 to 1/7 of my ICE vehicle. My maintenance costs are 1/2 or less than my iCE vehicle.
I just replaced brakes on all corners and saved about 50% vs dealership and they used OEM parts.
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
The car stops just fine, it just doesn’t have a great feel.
Only gripes I have about the VB are the shitty brakes.
Factory brakes in my 2021 we’re pretty low quality, lasted about 3 years.
I thought the brakes sucked
