How long does OEM brake pads last for DD?

I am using my 13 BRZ surely for DD, highway miles mostly. Typically on my Honda/Toyota family sedan/SUV, the factory brake pads last at least 70k miles, sometimes more than 100k. But I am not familiar with Subaru's brake system and this is my first stick shift car, so I don't have much experience. Since it is not convenient for me to take off the wheels and check, I am interested to just gather some ideas from folks with similar usage. I am now at 50k miles. So roughly when should I get read to change the pads?


Also as a separate topic, I am curious that for the same driver and under the same driving environments, whether brake pads/rotors last longer on MT cars or AT cars from experience? Any reasoning behind that? Thanks in advance.
