Default 04 accord brakes

when i test drove an 04 accord exv6 w/ 1900 miles on it the brakes seem really sensitive. i would have to touch the brakes lightly and the car would come to a full stop. now i took delivery of an 04 accord exv6 with 150 miles and the brakes dont seem to be as sensitive. is it because its not broken in yet?

I don't know about a break in - but I can tell you that my brakes were pretty sensitive when I bought my car and still are exactly the same now, after approx. 6500 miles. I don't mean overly sensitive - I would say very responsive - like you said, just a light touch brings the car to a complete stop. It just took a little getting used to. My other car is a big old Plymouth van, so compared to that they are pretty sensitive.

yeah, mine is ok too although the demo models are pretty tight, but its gonna wear out the break pads a lot quicker if its that tight.
