I need to remove the wheels to bleed, right ?
First off, it's really not fair to compare the brake feel on two different cars.

Now tell me that you did check the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir?

You don't have to remove the wheels, but it makes it easier.

You might consider using the "humfrz" method of bleeding the brakes:

Drive your car up to your local brake shop. Ask them to bleed the brakes. Have a cup of coffee and read a car magazine. Pay them $35. Drive home, Take a nap.
