Ok, now the front brakes are gone, need new pads at just 30K miles, rear pads went at 24K miles. I think wind noise and creaks are the least of the problems with this car. For any of you who actually bought this car and are thinking of keeping it past its warranty period, you are in for some really nasty surprises. Get your wallet ready.

There are posters at the TSX enthusiast site who have upwards of 50K on their cars with no serious problems. Consumer Reports also rated the TSX as one of the most reliable cars in the segment. Only the IS300 got a higher score. |

Replying to: jkobty2 (Jan 28, 2005 6:43 am) 15K - front pads and new rotors OEM 30K - rear pads and reface rotors OEM 44K - front pads and reface rotors aftermarket 60K - rear pads and new rotors aftermarket Now almost 90K - no brake work done or needed. My 91 Accord stick 112K replace front pads OEM That's it. Same driving style - same conditions. |

Replying to: robr2 (Jan 28, 2005 1:57 pm) But, my '99 Accord.. 39K in two years, and still had 50% when I traded it.. Not saying you could find anything wrong with your '98... but, that kind of wear is just not normal.. especially, since you've demonstrated that you are not tough on brakes... Didn't you think it was unusual? regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 28, 2005 2:04 pm) What I was trying to show was that my expectation for my 98 was wildly overboard based on my 91 and that the person who was crying end of the world based on brake wear is off the mark. Now our 00 Odyssey went 42K on the fronts and that's mostly city driving. |

Replying to: indydriver (Jan 28, 2005 2:34 pm) On the 98? I havn't a clue. Whatever the local mechanic my SIL recommended put on the fronts and whatever NTB put on the rears. Although I will say the breke dust is horrid with the aftermarkets. The OEM pads never dusted like this. |
