Brake pad wear experience

Yeah, a lot will depend on driving; city driving will see a lot more brake activity than highway.

At my oil change the other day (23,400 miles), the inspection report had the rear brakes as 'yellow' - not in immediate need of service but probably will be needed by the next time. When the next service interval comes up I'll try to remember to get a competing quote before blindly letting the dealer do it. Fronts are still 'green'.

Back in the '90s I had a Mazda MX-3 that went 89K miles on the original brakes. Mazda had put 12.5" discs on a 2300 pound car so there was huge stopping power and a large area to spread wear over.
