My son cracked the pressure plate on my Subaru when I was teaching him to drive manual, had about 130k miles on it at that point. Mechanic said my flywheel didn't even need to be reurfaced, it was still like new.
125K on a 2018. Factory pads and rotors. All even wear and still far from the squealer tabs.
2021 with 87k miles. I'll probably need to change the pads in the next 15k-20k miles.
70k miles for my first set of my brand new 2020. and then I replaced them myself and noticed the rotors looked nearly perfect condition and it was just the pads that were worn, I was impressed, because I do a lot of mountain driving.
I’ve got a 2018 Crosstrek Limited that I bought new in 2017. 96000 miles later and I still have the original brakes. Never been worked on. Dealership says they’ve got a decent amount of meat left on them
Did an air filter replacement on my ‘02 Outback the night before I took it to work. Didn’t seat the airbox properly and the (EJ251?) ran off MAP so it ran fine at lower power levels/speeds but struggled to make power (and subsequently flashed the CEL) once I got on the highway.
I thought the brakes sucked
Owned my 2025 Outback for 6 months. 9K miles. 3 chips already repaired by safelite
I still think the stock breaks on my 22VB needed more bite. They weren’t giving me the performance I wanted. My stock brakes didn’t give me that confidence. In the moments where I had to slam on the breaks, I still stopped safely, but it was a brown flag moment. They worked, but they didn’t inspire confidence. Additionally, I had issues with heat. Driving down the a mountain on a hot day (101°F), I needed to pull over and sit because my brakes were fading and my fluids boiling. Yes, the stock brakes will stop you. But I couldn’t trust them to stop me every time.
Stock pads are ass and spongy.
