Geez, that thing sounds like a junker. Either that or you love to replace parts. My VW has original silent wheel bearings, original front brakes (2/3 remaining at 160k miles) and its 3rd set of tires.
Brakes & tires are not indicative of a "junker" so much as they are of how the vehicle is driven and sometimes the quality of parts used.
On the other hand, it sounds like his G has never had the trans dropped to replace something like a flywheel. I haven't had to do that either. To some people flywheel X2 would = junker.
I didn't necessarily mean junker as unreliable. I guess I worded that weird. I was assuming since its a daily driver it wasn't track driven or driven like a race car, so a set of tires every 15,000 miles is pretty ridiculous for a daily driver, unless he slams on the brakes to stop 20 feet from the light then burns out and corners like a Nascar driver. Also with that many sets of brakes for the same reasons. I guess some people beat on regular cars.
