Brake pads OEM Subaru or OEM Mercedes

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.

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

Still on the first set, 68k.

I've NEVER been able to keep the brakes as good as a Subaru. Even Buick and Chevrolet dealer brake jobs were no better than me doing it myself, but Subaru seems to be great so far. So far, I'm very impressed, and the brakes ALONE are a reason I have become a Subaru convert.

I didnt care for the feel of the pedal. Actual performance of the brakes is fine.

the VB brakes are fine until they get really hot at which point they fade badly.

I find the brakes in the 25 WRX to be soft and not a lot of bite in them. If Im braking and need to apply more brake pedal if feels as if nothing is happening brake wise from my initial depress. I'd like more bite with the pads.

Mechanically, the wrx brakes are fine, but the feel is so freakin stiff compared to other cars that it really takes a bit to get used to. In emergency braking, you press the pedal thinking you'll stop fine, but you don't press hard enough and come in faster than you thought, press down harder and it's still not triggering abs, and you crash. It's so damn hard to trigger ABS in this car

The WRX has brakes that are worse than all of them. It takes an amount of pedal pressure that had me check if the power brakes were working. The brakes on the WRX are ass.
