My dad had one of the first VW Rabbits that came out of the Pa. factory in the mid '70's. It would go through front pads every 7,000 miles, and rotors at 14,000 miles. Front tires would last 10,000 miles. My dad never changes the rear brakes or rear tires the whole time he owned it. The dealer and VW couldn't find anything wrong with it. VW picked up the tab for the brakes ad rotors under warranty.
