Yup. I love my car.

If I were in your situation, though? About the only thing I’d change on this car is the carbon ceramics, which I’d rather not deal with. Assuming you can still do it I might take the discs off and put them in a safe place and swap iron rotors on, so I didn’t have to worry about a steep repair bill down the line.
I don’t think ceramics wear a lot on only street driving, best I can tell.

(Don’t let it ever deter you, is what I’m saying)
