However, no other car I drive has brakes that does this so I'll be asking them to check again when I go back for my next service. I'll also ask if I can test the brakes of a new FRS to see if they feel the same. |
Update on this.
Last week the brake system was checked again. This time they asked to keep it for a day and to drive it around a bit so they could get a full feel for any issues. Again they weren't able to find any abnormality with how the pedal felt.
I was given a loaner Corolla to drive around for the time they were diagnosing my complaint, and immediately upon pressing the brake pedal in the Corolla I felt as though I found what the issue was.
Toyota's brake feel in their modern cars is just unacceptable. My father 2007 Tundra has great brakes, his 1993 Camry has great brakes, and my step-mothers 1997 Camry also has great brake feel. But, my 2013 FRS and the loaner 2015 Corolla brakes feel woeful.
I conclude that there isn't an issue with the brakes themselves, just a personal issue with how the brakes feel.
