TT Roadster Brakes
I'm just bought a TT Roadster and find that while the brakes work well there is no feel or feeback from the brakes. Any suggestions about what the problem may be or is this the way the brakes are?

After I picked my teeth out of the steering wheel the first time I stopped hard....
....Don't know what you are experiencing, but mine stops on a dime and has me watching the guy behind me as so he doesn't slam into me because I stop so well in emergency situations

Thats great. I made my wife almost go through the windshield on our first test ride...When
I tell her to "hold on" she knows better now. Seatbelts are mandatory from that point on.

I think everyone here interpreted your post as saying the brakes are weak, but
I think I know what you mean. You are not saying the breaks are weak, but just that the pedal feel is much different from what you are used to. Maybe what you feel is how little pedal pressure translates into a great deal of braking power?
You will get used to it.
I drive the TT much differently than the Ford Taurus I transitioned from. With the Taurus, if a sudden obstacle appeared in my path my only sensible option was to steer my way out of trouble. With the TT's fantastic stopping ability, slamming the brakes is now another option. But watch your tail for the folks who can't dream of stopping as quickly and could end up piling into you.
