2014 impreza limited hatch — only 90K, routine maintenance (oil changes and replacing as needed brake pads, fluids, brake lights, tires, wipers).
aside from some repairs to back wheels (2 years ago) and a clog in my exhaust system that had to be cleared (7 years ago), this baby has been rollin along fine.
My energy cost per mile is 1/5 to 1/7 of my ICE vehicle. My maintenance costs are 1/2 or less than my iCE vehicle.
c5 corvette brakes
I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.
the rear brakes did go bad at 35,000 but Subaru said that was an issue with defective brake pads from the factory and they paid for the replacements and they have been fine ever since.
I think the brake pedal has a good feel, but I absolutely have had an "oh shit" moment when I was cruising at 70mph and had to brake for traffic. They definitely underperform for a "sporty" car. But I wouldn't say they suck or dangerous
1950 brakes weren't very good even when they were new.
The stock brake pads leave much to be desired.
Only gripes I have about the VB are the shitty brakes.
I just got the blazer ev, and within a month the brakes (pedal, not actual brakes) start making noise every time I pushed on them and the wind noise increased.
