Odd. Brakes were never a problem on either of our Camrys. Now my 2006 Civic goes through them. Had to replace them at 30,000 miles. I’ve read that front brakes wearing out fast is a major Honda problem in recent years not only with Civics but also with Accords. Some reports on these models had brakes wearing out at as little as 10,000 miles. 20,000 to 30,000 miles seems average for Honda break wear. Our Camrys went 60 to 70 thousand miles before needing front brakes.

I have a Tacoma (1999) that went 138,000 miles on the front brakes (and that includes four years of pulling a rather heavy ski boat). The rear brakes have 159,000 on them. I know the rear brakes do a lot less work, but still, they have lasted!

Also, the factory clutch still works, although I am sure it will need replacing soon.

So far, in 12 years,I have only replaced a spark plug wire that a rat ate, and, since I was bored, the spark plugs as well at 100,000 miles.
