That's definitely true. It just isn't possible to learn all of a car's features and flaws in a test drive, unless your CA lets you do test drives at the track!
But I am kind of surprised at your disappointment. I've found the brakes to be just incredible. And the handling was dramatically improved once I traded in the run flats for a set of Potenza RE-11s.
I do have the M sport line, and have heard that these cars use different brake pads than other lines. No idea if this is true or not (and I'm sure someone will quickly correct me if I'm wrong), but you might consider new pads and new rubber on all four corners and see if you aren't a little happier.
Since "sucking" is always a matter of degree, what car are you comparing it to?

Yes, but it takes more than a test drive to really get a feel for a car.
