Brake pads OEM KIA or OEM Volkswagen

I just traded in my 2019 Jetta with 65000 miles, never changed the brakes, but looked at them at 60000. It looks like they were at thick as new, insane. Would stop on a dime.

I've got 160k kms on my front brake pads on my 2012 tdi.

Rear pads I've changed 3 times.

It's got exceptional engine braking.

I love all the things that set it apart from the standard GTI - suspension changes, VAQ improvements, power and brakes.

Fék csere nem nagyon kell, pedig ez más EVhez képest használja is.

It’s got 102,700kms on the clock and owned it since new. I’m still on my first set of brake pads.

That said, I have a '22 SE that has 53,000 miles. The rear brake pads failed at 23,000 miles.

Not an actual issue, but an annoyance: The brakes make weird sounds (like bad-transmission-in-a-transformers-movie- like warbling) and sometimes even feel grainy, but the vw mechanics can never identify anything wrong with them. It’s worse in the cold, but even happens in moderate weather.

Rear brake pads are terrible. Lots of brake dust and already at 4 mm at 8k miles. I rarely brake hard and have never need to replace rear brake pads before 100k on any other car.

Kia Sportage SUV, brakes locked up about 2K miles in, shop "fixed" it, the next week it literally spontaneously combusted in the wee hours of the morning.

New Beetles are definitely underrated. They do have some weak points though. The Turbo S brakes are barely adequate for touge.
