I've had my 500 for almost a month now (1.2 Lounge, 1007 miles) and it's been fine apart from one small thing; the brakes don't seem to have much 'bite' to them. I recently drove a 1.2 Pop (1200 miles) owned by someone I know and her car had much better brakes, they seemed to stop you fairly quickly quite high up in the pedal travel, when I got back into mine it actually felt dangerous to drive!

Whose car is normal, mine or hers? Or does it vary? Because if I'm doing a fair speed I have to really stomp on the pedal to get the car to slow down quickly...:confused:
