brakes shouldnt have to be replaced for a LONG TIME, but looking around here, the rotors are over $100 and the pads are just about 100 as well.
But still, they're expensive.
As is rubber, but not that bad I would think.
I'll bet the interior is just plain awesome in comparison haha.

Probably getting away from the subject of this thread, but I do like the interior very much.

I definitely wouldnt say there are no down sides, the dash on the gxp's are cheap and will make alot of popping and crackling noises(but yes I think the interior looks good). Tires are a pain since you cant rotate, and if your getting 25 mpg in the city you must be pushing the car from behind while it is idling through the city......its about time for some new tires for me though, I will get a vid soon of me roasting whats left of these off.

Just to clarify, I'm getting an average 25 mpg. And I do understand that tires and brakes are going to add $200 a year. But its reliable, a hot-rod when I step on the gas, and a fairly economical family car when the car seats are in the back. I guess it's all in one's perspective. Compare the performance and fuel ecomomy to Maxima and Camry.

except a good bit faster than a maxima overall.I do love my car I wasnt saying that I didnt.....but was just saying that there are a couple of irritating things about it.

That's fair. I guess when I stated that it had "no down side", I implied that the car was perfect. It isn't. But I have a family, and am still young at heart, so the car was ideal for my situation.

Well since we are talking about GXP and the gas milage my mom and I both just ran our cars through the same trip at the same time and and I had gotten a bit better gas milage than her. She drives an 07 GT 3.8 supercharged while mine is a 2007 GXP no mods to air flow or anything aside from that she recently just had her mufflers replaced so she would be louder than me. I must admit though i'm a bit jealous of them.
So does any one have any clue why mine would be a bit more effeciant than hers. BTW both of us run premium fuel

Your car has active fuel management cutting it down to 4 cylinders at a cruise, like I said ive been very happy with the fuel economy of our cars.
