I bought the car and was told it needed brakes. I towed it home, my mechanic checks it out, brakes are fine, maybe it needs a master brake cylinder. They replace that, still brakes feel the same. Take it to my other mechanic, he says the first guys forgot to bleed the brakes. He does this, still they feel like they are taking too much effort to work. Eventually I just adapt to driving a little further away from others in this vehicle.
