Brake pads OEM Volvo or OEM Mazda
Mazda 6 Wagon Turbo Diesel.
I'm driving it into the ground ???? but loving every km I drive.
Brakes are the next job, I'm considering an upgrade to slotted rotors and better pads.
'23 Turbo Meridian with only routine maintenance needed at just under 34K miles. Will likely need brakes at next oil change, but no issues or repairs needed to this point.
I’ve two cars, a V6 sedan and a Mazda exactly like this. I depended mostly on my Mazda, which I’ve had for 3 years with an automatic transmission. I absolutely love it- it has never let me down. It always starts and goes, and I’ve even left it idling for hours many days with no issues. Apart from brake pads and regular oil changes, I haven’t had to do anything to it.
I’ve got a 2020 Turbo with 83,000 miles. Great car. Very reliable. Did do full brakes at 74,000 miles. Lots of power, love the car.
2021 Mazda 3 same original set of brakes at 30K miles.
2024 prem plus with 50k miles and no major issues. At 6k miles the battery was defective and then at 11k miles and then again at 36k miles my front brakes were shot.
235 km/h on the german autobahn, from one border to the other, no issue! Except for the numerous heavy breaking... Going from over 200 to less than 100 several times in a row and you start loosing confidence in the brakes.
Pacific Mazda has been okay; they only pushed an unnecessary break maintenance so far.
I have a 2019 XC40 and kept having brake issues - they ended up replacing the pads and rotors… at less than 15k miles. I continue to have issues (now it’s nothing serious, just a very loud obnoxious squeal)
Volvos seem to eat brakes. My xc60 is horrible on brakes.
