I've seen some skinny non-vented rear discs on a number of small cars, do you think they'll hold up better?
Why not a prius hatchback, the C or whatever, it's $19k and the regenerative braking will save wear.[/quote
Thanks for the Prius even though I not sure it fit the bill.
I've got to ask what cars have you seen vented rear discs on.
Maybe on some exotic? All the Toyotas and Hondas and Hyundais and Chevys and Fords that I've owned have had unvented rear discs.
I'm just asking a question about a car but it seems that I touched a nerve will rear drum people.
I think my Magnum had vented rear discs...I recall that Si Civics also get them.
On an econobox, I would PREFER rear drums.
