So what if it outsells? It still not a better overall car than the civic. The corolla is cheap but it has MANY really cheap pieces that I don't like on it.
 
Personally, both are great cars but neither would get my money.

Mushy Brakes by sandman46

Has this problem been addressed on the Corolla and the Camry yet? We've had 2 Camry's & 2 Corolla's with these horrible mushy brakes with too much dead pedal that actually drove us away from the Toyota brand. A shame too as we really liked the cars but hated the brakes.
Has this problem ever been corrected yet?

It's only a problem if you think it's a problem. I've had 4 Camrys and 2 Corollas and the brakes "mushiness" doesn't bother me a bit.

Your answer makes no sense...only a problem if I think it's a problem. Our Nissan's didn't have that problem, nor do our current Honda or Mazda. Even our GM products from the '70's and '80's didn't have mushy brakes.
With an answer like that, I doubt we'll be looking at the Corolla when we need to buy two cars within the next year. And people let you get away with answers like that? Sheesh!

I think the question really is: Does the car stop within a reasonable distance despite the mush feel? My Subaru Forester has a pretty mushy brake feel if compared to a lot of other cars, but the thing stops just fine. So I think that where I would focus my attention.

Also...while most car mags note the mushy feel of the brakes in Toyotas, they go on to say something like "despite the mushiness, the car had a surprisingly short stopping distance, besting all the other cars in the comparo", LOL.
 
The feel of the pedal in Toyotas may suck, but it's usually Honda, believe it or not, with the worst stopping distances.

Being a salesman has nothing to do with it Dude! I own three Camrys right now and one before that was totalled. The brakes on most Toyotas are "mushy" but they do the job better than other brands. It is not a defect or problem. You just have to get used to them like everything else.

I know he's a salesman dude! He usually has good product knowledge and was looking for something positive about Toyota brakes. He knows a lot and really looking for positive info before I put my kids in a car I wouldn't drive myself. I go by pedal feel dude, and all our recent cars have had better pedal feel with better stopping power...that's all I care about when I put my loved ones in a car.
Why on earth has Edmunds gotten so nasty lately...never was this way in the old days. But I guess the internet lets jerky folks say stuff that most won't say face to face. Unbelievable!
Guess it's definitely time to look else where for a nicer exchange of ideas.
