My last two cars had all three brake attributes:
No Squeeling, No Dust, No Rotor Wear. Pads good for 70,000 miles, rotors over 150,000 miles.
But they were Preludes.
Preludes also have excellent stopping distances. But these are typically tested 60-0 mph. I've seen it posted here, that the SAAB's brakes will have better fade resistance than possibly the Prelude. Maybe braking from 150 mph the 9-5 would dust the Prelude.
I do like the braking feel I get from my Aero, but I am anxious about the brakes. I don't recall seeing in Consumer Reports problems with brakes, but if I have to replace my rotors at 28,000 miles, here in flat Indiana, I'll have to check that box on my CR member survey. The SAAB OEM pads (or at least mine) are complete junk. They're soft (dusty) with large metallic bits (big grooves in rotors, normal per my dealer's service).
