is what I say.
First to comment on a couple of things Steve said.
- I'm not aware of warping rotors being a problem.
- I'm not ready to declare pad wear a problem. Brake dust yes, but the brakes do function very well on my Aero, and if the pads only lasted 20,000 miles, I could live with that. A Linear should probably get 30,000 miles from a set of pads. These seem reasonable, since Japanese (at least Honda) cars easily double that.
However, I consider rotors wearing out at 30,000 miles and less unacceptable. Maybe some of you old-time European-car owners are use to this, but if SAAB wants to court Japanese-car owners (OK, maybe I was a statistical anomaly), who are use to their Honda rotors lasting forever, something has to change. When the time comes for my Aero needing new rotors (probably 20,000 ~ 30,000 miles), I will raise a big fuss trying to get SAAB to replace them for free.
Mine is at dealer right now getting 10,000 service. I expressed a concern about rotor wear, asked them to look at it while rotating tires. I'm curious what they'll say. Just wanted to start getting it documented for when the rotor replacement becomes an issue.
