Re: Can You Believe This Or Am I Crazy
I turned a 5-speed Vue over to my daughter with 118k and she finally needed brakes at 148k. It was mostly highway driving as well as judicious use of the manual tranny. It's more a function of how often and how hard you use the brakes rather than the mileage. If you're the type of driver who races up to a light or stopsign and then brakes hard (like my son), you'll need brakes sooner. Or, as I prefer, I back off the gas when I'm a few hundred yards away from the stop and let the car slow down 10-20 mph on it's own.
