The e-Golf still uses the friction brakes to bring the car to a complete stop. Aggressive stopping also requires the friction brakes, which I do occasionally. Between those to, the brakes seem to avoid any significant rust build up.

Pros: avoid significant rust build

Brakes are too small and while not a safety issue per se, they do tend to warp due to heat. I had to replace my front brakes every 12-20k miles initially. Went to slotted/drilled rotors that got me ~40k miles. Finally "upgraded" to the 2013+ brakes which solved the problem for good.

Pros: solved the problem for good
Cons: warp due to heat

I consider my W204 C63 visceral, even if not analog. The 6.2 V8 makes all kinds of nasty noises you would not expect from a Mercedes and it howls all the way up to 7200rpm, which may not be that high, but still impresses me given the size of the engine. The car is quick, noisy and has the brakes to back it up.

Pros: quick, noisy, good brakes

As you can see I have a 2016 GTI PP (Big Brake). I love the car and the brakes are outrageous. At over 140 MPH I had to get on them hard because somebody decided to move left because he didn't like me driving fast. They are fantastic.

Pros: brakes are outrageous
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Brakes don't squeal, but, at least when they're cold, they seem to grind/shudder/skip (not a warped rotor type of shudder) at low speeds.

Pros: brakes don't squeal
Cons: grind/shudder/skip when cold

It's the pad compound and v. common for VWs. Often first thing in morning when there is moisture on them and moreso in reverse. You can do new pads and use something like a ceramic compound, it's a cheap fix.

Pros: cheap fix with ceramic
Cons: pad compound issue, common for VWs
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Got mine in November of 2021 and have had the same squealing and grinding issue. Sometimes it's a high-pitched whistle. Going to look at the ceramic brake pads that someone suggested, but its a shame that VW does not address.

Pros: ceramic brake pads suggested
Cons: squealing, grinding, high-pitched whistle

The front brakes have suddenly started vibrating under a heavy load on my Alltrack. The dealer replaced all rotors and pads just before I bought the car. the new brakes have about 6k miles on them.

Cons: vibrating under heavy load
