Exploders eat up front brakes every 10K or so when the back brakes are out
of adjustment.......Keep the back brakes adjusted properly, the automatic
adjusters are pretty worthless after a while, and you can get 20K or
so......Still appalling to say the least.

A typical American sedan will go 70,000 miles+ before needing its first
brake job...
A friend's Ford Exploder manages to get 12-20kmi out of a set of brakes.
Automatic transmission, of course. I was appalled. I got 150kmi out of
the factory brakes on my Camaro, with a stick shift. I'd guess I'd get
the same out of nearly any stickshift car with halfway decent brakes.
