How do you find your brakes?

So general question here because I'm interested in everyone's opinions on this.

On most new cars I've driven as you depress the brake pedal there comes a point when the brakes really cut in and you feel them bite. With my ZT, I don't really get that, I find them much more progressive - meaning you need more pedal travel to achieve the same stopping distance. It really came to my attention when a tyre fitter recently drove my car and said he thought there was something wrong with the brakes as it hadn't stopped when he expected it to.

Overall I must say that while I've not had any problems so far, I don't find the brakes as good as other similar sized cars I've driven. But maybe that's just me. Would be interested to hear if anyone's upgraded to 190 brakes and how they found that.
