Civic brake pad life

Your infatuation with European cars - not another Audi! - and bias against Japanese cars is clouding your judgement. My utterly reliable and fine handling -06 Honda Civic Sport has just had its first change of front pads at 182,000 kilometres and the discs are fine. Total cost - $30. So European cars have softer pads, which wear out the discs quicker. Take off the blinkers.

Things have changed since you bought the Civic, with most Japanese carmakers going backwards through the GFC. As for our Euro bias, we actually think the Koreans now make better cars than most of the Japanese brands.
