    Uneven brake wear

    Just noticed my drivers side rear brake disc is wearing much faster than the one on the other side. A lot more pad dust on that wheel too. Both the fronts appear to be wearing evenly.

    Any members have experience/comments on this?

    That sounds very strange. I'd be visiting the dealer in your position. Good luck with it.

    what's the set-up of the hand brake on these cars? use internal drum or the disc??

    Can't really help you other than suggesting a sticky handbrake if that's how these cars are set-up.

    Go for a drive, when you come back, put your hand on (or near) the two rear wheels, if one is dragging / sticking on, it will be noticeably hotter than the other.
