I wasn't too keen on KVRs myself so I decided to ask here - I never heard of them until I started searching for brakes.
I think the Mazda3 has major problems with the brakes. Sure, they stop well, but they don't last very long at all.
Before this I had problems with squeaking and and MAROR dusting on the rear (look around you, and you'll see most Mazda3s have this problem), but at 40000km, my rears are totally gone - not suprising considering they dusted themselves away.
The fronts are warped AND grooved.
Maybe I'll go bug another dealership and see if they'll cover it under warranty. If I'm getting OEM I don't want to pay for it.
