Seeing as most of my driving is on motorways/duel carriage ways I thought this a bit soon. It is now Wednesday I returned the car to the garage with no front brakes, the pads disappeared in 280 miles, just a high pitched squeal and only the back brakes to try and stop a high speed car. This seems to be a fault with the civic and Honda should do something about it, I am not rich and £230 for front tyres every 6 months is abit much.
Are you saying that you need to change front tyres every 12,500 miles (20 000 km)? That seems very excesive unless your are dropping the clutch at 6500 rpm a lot.
