Question brake squeaking

Every morning I come out of the garage with my car, I tap the brakes and they do some faint squeaking. My mileage is approx. 2750, there shouldn't be any reason for me to replace brake pads or braking fluid right? I have only driven under "normal conditions" thus far. If anything needs replacing, the warranty should cover it?

I have a theory that it's because of the cold weather that my brakes squeak. After the car warms up, the squeaks go away. So can it be that the brake pads need warming up, or else they squeak?

Probably a combination of the cold weather and the fact that the breaks/pads haven't been completely broken in yet.. Give it more time,

it goes away after the first one or two stops right? If so my rotors do the same, on mine it's a little rust on the rotor.

My RS does that to, especially if not driven for a day or two. It is just a fine layer of rust that scrapes off the rotor after 1-2 stops.

My WRX does that, too. I don't have stock pads, but I think that the sound is normal.
