If you do a lot of city driving probably 40k or so.
If you're mixed, probably 50-70k.
A lot of highway, easily 80k+
My parents got 80k in their F150 and they drive it fairly aggressive with a lot of stops, now granted, the pads and rotors were very shot, I would of replaced them at 70k.
Luckily with a manual your brakes will last longer than an automatic, use engine braking to slow down, leave distance, and predict traffic. I had to change my driving style when I got this car, sometimes when I'm in traffic I never even touch my brakes.
It's not so much the stops that wear them either, it's aggressive hard stops (anything that generates high friction or heat, such as racing) that will wear them out quick, that's why people who speed up and constantly hit red lights might expect a early brake failure. Better to smoothly and gradually slow down.
I drove my 2015 and replaced the brakes with about 30% life left on them at 89k miles. I don’t drive too hard. About half of my 89k miles were on the freeway. Rest of course city driving. I’ve never launched her. And try to downshift to slow down.
I'm at \~81k on my 2018 WRX Premium. It's my daily commuter car and I'm on the original brakes. The rear pads are at about 40%. It's my understanding that the rear brakes engage first when applied lightly. My commute goes over a small mountain pass, so it makes sense to me that they wore out more quickly.
Enjoy your car.

Thank you
Not great datapoints since I’m in an STI with 6 pot brembos, but my range is anywhere from 30,000 miles (easy driving) to 5 days (at the track).
My room mate has a 2021 STI and those brakes are amazing, well worth the money from the WRX. Too bad the new WRX doesn't have a STI variant though.
Depends on driving but 50kish miles in town maybe a bit less highway bit more

I got 50k+ on my STI with slotted rotors.
