The car has seen a fair mix of highway and town miles. Though it is "her" car, it is the car we usually take when we go places together, so I drive it maybe 30-40% of the time. The braking power is great and it stops fine. The brake pads are the "meatiest" pads I've ever seen on any car. The actual pad itself has to be 1" thick or more, it's unreal.


We bought this car when it was 9 months old with 16,000 miles on it, it's been very mechanically sound. I continue to be impressed by the engineering every time I have to do some type of routine maintenance on it. Seeing those pads makes me wonder why more manufacturers can't design theirs that way...........maybe because a good share of profits come from selling parts down the road.
