Brake pads OEM Honda or OEM Audi
2013-2015 have axle recalls…they’ll get fix free but you’ll need to invest in wheel hubs on the front due to the axles failing it’ll mess up the wheel hubs. Also the sensor on the battery it’s something about sending the correct volts to the alternator that’s a big issue and could cause electrical fires. Was also a recall. Besides that just check the car undercarriage for surface rust on calipers they fail a lot due to abunch of surface rust and debris getting into it over time and it’ll act like it’s seized up but really all the grease is just gone over time. Get good quality ceramic pads these cars squeal like a pig with the cheap ones. Also valve cover gasket is a must always will leak eventually every 30k miles or so. Best bet is getting a 2016 &up tbh
Pros: ceramic pads prevent squeal
Cons: cheap pads squeal

Honda Accord
The CRVs I have are a 2010 with 210k miles. AC compressor every 100k miles and an alternator at 200. Brakes at 100k and 160k and 210k, the OEM brakes are amazing. Spark plugs at 100k and 200k and both times still looked new. Still drives amazing and is solid it's better than my 2017 CRV.
Pros: amazing OEM brakes, spark plugs looked new
Cons: AC compressor replacement, alternator replacement
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 210000 km
Samme oplevelse havde jeg. Pris for skift af bremser og klodser p\u00e5 A6 2017 for et par \u00e5r siden. Pris hos Audi 8000kr eller dero mkring. Smed p\u00e5 autobutler og fik en pris p\u00e5 2500kr
Pros: billigere pris andetsteds
Cons: dyr pris hos Audi
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I had a brake job done a few months ago for the A4 with Audi for 1000 EUR. Just got the quote for the same job on the Q7 and it is 2300 EUR.
Pros: rock solid car
Cons: expensive consumables, parts
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Nice. 2011 here (also bought new) but I did all four brakes at 68K miles. They had some life left in them according to the shop, but they just started feeling a tad soft, and my brake pedal was getting a little to close to the floor for comfort.
Pros: 15 years of ownership
Cons: AC is weak
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 68000 km
I've replaced a battery, 2 exhausts and brake pads in that time. Literally that's it, just maintenance and fuel.
Pros: cheap to run, cheap to insure
Vehicle:
Honda Jazz
As a good example, we were surprised to learn that the brakes were shot at just 33k miles. A quote to replace everything with OEM was insanely expensive... around $6k if I recall correctly.
Pros: premium vibe
Cons: brakes shot at 33k
Vehicle:
Audi SQ7
Mileage: 33000 km
Last week front passenger brake began making a metal on metal grinding noise. Assumed it was brakes because this vehicle has been a frequent brake pad/rotor-replacee due to the mileage of the car. The brake pads were very low. Drove the car around for about 30mins today and no grinding noise BUT the front passenger was very hot and didn’t smell good.
Pros: no grinding noise
Cons: passenger very hot, bad smell
Vehicle:
Honda
Ditching my 2024 SQ5 for something without throttle lag and brakes that you have to press through the floor to engage. Audi says “drives as designed” and nothing they could do so I’m out.
Cons: throttle lag, poor brakes
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.
Cons: full service at 30k is wild
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 30000 km
