Observation: Brake Feel in Chevy Cruze greatly outperforms F30

xDRAN0x · 08-27-2013, 10:30 AM

I am overly pleased with my 335 brakes. Coming from WRX, the feel is better and has less travel and require less power too.

I can also stop on a dime.

I have a 528i loaner and those brakes are terrible. You have to travel over half way to get any bite from them. I think depending on how your car is optioned out you are going to feel different things when you use your brakes. If OPs car is wearing brakes like my 528i loaner this thread he put up would not surprise me.

Yep.

Even the shoes you wear has something to do with it.

I had not driven the F30 in awhile and wore my thin soled Piloti driving shoes. The first time I slowed for a red light, the car just STOPPED, way sooner than I had anticipated, pushed me forward from the seat lol.

Well you are lucky I wasn't behind you, my loaner would have rear ended you because that thing does not stop as quickly

Would have given me an excuse to get an MPerformance rear diffuser lol.

I had a Cruze rental for nearly 2 weeks. Couldn't wait to get out of that car.

Agreed. Before I got my M-Sport I didn't realize how dusty they were. But they do stop well.
