Brakes last on AWD 05 Matrix XR

[rsbates01]

Hi, I am trying to find out the typical mileage life of brakes on the 05 Matrix XR AWD, especially if it is primarily receiving city miles?

I just change on XRS @ 35000 Chicago suburgs. Nometter where or how you drive just get nice breaks, don't be cheap from Autozone with Lifetime waranty and dont have to worry about them anymore

Hi...I also have an 05 4WD. I have 62K miles on the original brakes. I haven't visually checked them lately, but the last time I did they were fine. I'm pretty sensitive to the sounds from them, but so far, nothing incriminating. I do a mix of city/highway driving in the DC/Baltimore area.

if it is a lot of city driving, i would suggest 20,000 - 25,000 miles. i keep hearing much of the lifetime brakes. i havent ever tried them, but others seem to recommend them quite a bit.
