    My 2007 Touring model has 234,000 miles and still has some brake pad left. Is this unusual or are the regenerative brake systems that efficient? I am the original owner.

    You are doing a great job with your braking. Based on reports I've read, your wear is better than average, but not at all unusual.

    My friend had over 200,000 miles on the brake pads on his Nissan pickup. Sometimes it’s how you drive. :)
