well, like i said, our Pilot was $600, and that was at a dealership, and all 4 rotors and 4 sets of pads.
ahhh... wait... come to think of it, I think that was just turning the rotors, not replacing them. So that's still pretty close to your price of $250 for the fronts only.
But, again, this is a Pilot. $1k on a Fit? I can't buy that. And certainly not every 5k miles. Hell, my 3700lb G35 is not even halfway through its pads and I've now driven it nearly 10k miles AND put 9 autoXs on them in addition to an hour on a full track exceeding 100mph.

For a brake job on my 99 CRV it was like $180 and that included new pads, turn the rotors, new brake fluid, and adjust the rear drums. *sigh* I miss that vehicle. Best darn one I ever had.

Whoever wanted snow tires should just buy a set of regular all-season tires, then have them siped. Problem solved.
If someone actually manages to get bad gas mileage and bad traction and bad reliability out of the Fit then they are officially the worst driver on earth.
Give them an award.

Years ago, a tire shop talked me into havin the tires on my Mazda RX-7 "siped". I wasn't able to tell the slightest improvement...nothing.

sorry i can't provide a value on the 'Fit', but a lot of cars can start in 2nd gear if you put the shift lever in '2'. this can help reduce wheelspin, if that is the issue.

My wife went compleley thru ALL of the pads in 27,000 miles on her '05 Pilot. Dealer wanted to replace at least 2 rotors (perhaps all 4) and charge more than $500 for the job. Honda wouldn't goodwill any of it.
My son replaced all the pads for less than $60 and left the rotors alone. And there's no problem with them whatsoever now.

Probably not to many of 'em have gone across the block seeing how they've only been out for a couple of months. My guess is at least 3 grand less than whatever the sticker was.
