If you are really as easy on the brakes as you have stated, that kind of brake life does sound like premature wear, and if it were mine, I would ask the dealer to get Saab involved to see how your brake life compares with their statistical average. NOt saying your can definitively prove anything from this, but honestly, 14-15k miles is ridiculous unless you are thrashing on them, in which case it would not be surprising. Assuming your car is an automatic,which as I mentioned before makes a pretty big difference if you manually downshift in a stick to reduce speed. Personally,I would be shocked at only 40k miles on my car if thats when the brakes need replacing.
