I do consider myself lucky, but I do drive a manual so the engine takes care of some of the braking and I don't drive aggressively as I do a lot of coasting. I put 17" wheels on in the summer and 16" snows in the winter and I probably do 60% city driving.
I'm surprised you need brakes so often because at 40K per year, aren't you doing a lot of highway driving?
I'm just wondering what changed from the 2004 9-3 Linear which I had and then sold to my mom. I realize that the engine has less power, but it is an automatic, and it hasn't needed new brakes yet, at 50K miles.
