After 22,000 km required new brake pad @ $2000. When I questioned the early wear, I was told that it was likely my driving patterns. I responded that I had 3 Lexus 350 SUV and none needed brakes before 50,000 km. Then I was told the excessive wear was due to the safety features of the accident prevention systems. The car is cute but nothing special for the price. I would not recommend this vehicle. I was going to consider a Land Rover but after this experience, I would not touch another vehicle from this manufacturer.
