Default Stock Brake Pad Life?

Within the parameters of "normal" driving, how long have your stock pads lasted? Any rotor issues? I'm at 34k and just wondering what I might expect.

I guess a lot of that would depend on what kind of driving you do (city vs. highway) and how hard you stomp on the pedal. I had the stock pads on my previous car last almost 130,000 miles, but I did a *lot* of highway driving.

the stock pads are soft, so I would be happy to get 35,000 - 40,000 miles of city driving.
