I've replaced a battery, 2 exhausts and brake pads in that time. Literally that's it, just maintenance and fuel.
I've been using raybestus element 3. Pads and rotors on my Toyotas.
I have the 2018 (CVT). Bought it secondhand. Daily driven + i already driven it back and forth sa Manila and Baguio 4-5x already this year. I already clocked in 8k sa odo, ang pinaka naging issue ko lang is napudpod na brake pads + motor ng wiper na nasira.
I would look at Raybestos, Wagner, Bendix, Bosch, or any of the major parts store brands.
I needed upgrades brakes (rear drums to discs), upgraded shocks with camber+caster adjustment, rear axle needed to be bent to give me more camber since GE8's don't have shimming like the GK or GD.
I recently changed entire front end + all 4 rotors and brakes and even asked them extensively about future parts availability.
Over 600 per axle for brakes seems high. I just ordered Raybestos pads and rotors front and back for 250 total from rock. Learning how to fix your car is like paying yourself.
These cars are notorious for eating rear brakes. The pads are just so small. I get Raybestos on Rockauto.
I did have VTC rattle on startup but it went away before I could get around to fixing it. I also had the injectors fail, which were covered under that warranty recall. Also have a leak on the inside of the vehicle from a rear speaker gasket, that will be fixed when I get around to it in the coming weeks. I only learned I had a leak because the interior was moldy and moist. My brakes failed on track mostly likely due to me overheating them, and not properly cooling them down. I ended up melting the O ring on the piston itself. Never really got to diagnose what the issue really was just what I saw and felt. Replaced with "Integra Type R Big Brakes and a Mini Cooper Rotor". Somehow my compressor clutch wire was chopped in half, which caused me to replace the compressor. Though I probably could've just fixed the wires, but I already bought a new compressor so I just replaced it.
Issues included brakes dying (out of brake fluid, pero may tagas din yung hydrovac)
