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 use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.
Stoptech 309 and Endless MX72/CCRG pads. They were great for my beginner's pace on the track. Obviously once I started pushing it more, you'll find the limits of the pad.
TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.
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.
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
The stock brake pads leave much to be desired.
Only gripes I have about the VB are the shitty brakes.
