    Every time I rent a car and return to driving my 2002 CR-V, I notice
    how my brake pedal feels squishy. My brakes have never felt "prompt".
    Should they? Does anyone share this sensation with their CR-V brakes?

  2. A few years ago, I rented a Cavalier (a horrible driving experience, but
    that's a whole other topic). Upon returning to my '93 Accord, I thought the
    brake pedal seemed soft as well. I suppose the Crap-alier's brake pedal was
    hard as a rock and required a lot of pressure to activate the brakes.

    I'm guessing that the softness in the pedal may be normal, as long as you
    don't have to push it all the way to the floor to activate the brakes.

    The abrupt braking response on some GM cars is an allusion to inspire
    security. Comparatively, the Honda brakes might feel more 'squishy' but when
    the going gets tough, they're easier to modulate (especially in the slick
    stuff)

    Drive a Chrysler minivan for 5 minutes, then go back to your CR-V. Your
    brakes will feel extremely responsive again.
