But from behind the wheel it was a clumsy car to drive in some respects, with
brake pedal responses that didn't match those of the throttle, steering that always felt detached from the rear axle somehow, and a chassis setup that was nothing if not determined in its desire to provide safe but endless amounts of understeer.
The Countryman's
brake pedal response is so severe that you invariably slow the car down more than you want for a given corner.
Not exact matches
In
response, Congress passed a law directing the U.S. Department of Transportation to issue new safety standards, including auto - reverse for power windows, additional mirrors, back - up cameras and sensors to reduce blind zones, and
brake transmission shift interlocks, which prevent cars from being shifted out of park without the
brake pedal.
Once the
pedal firms up, it lets you finely tune
braking response with foot pressure.
Throttle - and
brake -
pedal response are impressive, and the JCW's beefed - up
brakes stand up to repeated flogging.
The somewhat digital feel of the electric - assist steering quickly became unnoticeable, while the linear calibration of the throttle and the predictable, yet authoritative
response from the
brake pedal made fast driving pretty effortless.
Giving the computers more control allows for more precision in blending friction and regenerative
braking and makes
pedal responses more linear.
The
pedal offers spongy
response, but the
brakes clamp down hard when needed.
The Leaf's
braking response is smooth and predictable, and that's a big deal; in some alternative - fuel cars,
brake -
pedal feel is half - baked, with the traditional friction
brakes and regenerative
braking system not well - synchronized.
The only real disappointment is the artificial, vague feel of the
brake pedal; even after decades of building hybrids, Toyota still struggles to achieve progressive
pedal response with regenerative
braking systems.
The 7 - series» DSC includes a huge amount of sub-functions, including ABS (anti-lock
brakes), ASC (stability control, including a separate mode for stabilizing a trailer), CBC (cornering
brake control), DBC (Dynamic
Brake Control, which recognizes panic situations and helps the driver to effect a full -
braking panic stop with less
pedal pressure),
Brake Fade Compensation,
Brake Drying (which applies the
brakes slightly in wet conditions to keep the pads dry and thus ready for use),
Brake Standby (which applies slight
brake pressure in the event of a sudden lift from the gas, moving the
brake pads up against the rotor for quicker
response in a panic stop), Startoff Assistant (which prevents the 750i from rolling backwards down a hill as you start out), ACC Active Cruise Control (see below), and automatic
brake hold (which holds the car at a stop even with the transmission in gear).
Brakes rely on an electric motor rather than engine vacuum to generate hydraulic pressure for better
pedal response, feel, and stopping power.
Throttle
response,
brake pedal modulation,
brake performance, clutch
pedal take - up, gearshift action, steering precision and feel: all I can say is yum, yum, yum, and double yum again.
Likewise the Brembo iron, rather than composite
brakes, which proved dependable on this impression (if a little grabby beyond the initial soft
pedal response) but may wilt under greater strain.
The five - speed gearbox is incredibly sweet and the
pedals all react just as you want, with the Brembo
brakes having strength and depth, and the throttle an incredible
response even if you just brush the top of its travel.
And regardless of if you're
braking or accelerating, vehicle
responses are always one beat behind
pedal inputs.
The driving controls are well - weighted and linear in
response too, which means you always know how much to squeeze the
brake pedal or turn the tactile steering wheel.
Depending on the steering angle and steering speed, accelerator
pedal position, yaw rate and vehicle speed, PTV Plus optimizes steering
response and precision by selectively applying
brake pressure to the left or right rear wheel.
All that, combined with benchmark
braking and world - class ride and handling characteristics, make the Dodge Charger SRT8 civilized enough for a grocery run but fully capable in more challenging situations • The 2009 Dodge Charger SRT8 is part of a broad lineup of Street and Racing Technology vehicles developed under the credo «Race inspired, street legal» SAFETY AND SECURITY Please refer to the Safety and Security Glossary for descriptions of the following features: • Advanced Multi-stage Air Bag System • All - speed Traction Control System • Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) • Auto - reverse Sun Roof • BeltAlert • Brake Assist • Brake / Park Interlock • Child - protection Rear Door Locks • Constant Force Retractors • Crumple Zones • Electronic Stability Program • Energy - absorbing Steering Column • Enhanced Accident

Altima's 4 - wheel power - assisted disc
brake system was also re-engineered utilizing human ergonomic studies to optimize
pedal travel and force, providing a premium blend of immediate
response, confident
braking and reduced fatigue.
Braking is controlled by driver input via the
brake pedal, and older
braking systems
response to a driver
braking suddenly or with intense pressure was sometimes to lock up or skid.

The «Master» mode stored in the drive program «RACE» ensures optimum agility and brings out the high driving dynamics potential of the AMG GT 4 - Door Coupe to optimum effect - for example through higher yaw rates and a faster
response from the accelerator
pedal, gearshift system, rear axle steering, electronically controlled rear axle locking differential or
brake force distribution on the all - wheel drive system.
Also, we experienced unusual
brake behavior in the hybrid including poor
pedal response, and found it required far more
pedal stroke and pressure to maintain a full stop at a stop light than the non-hybrid Pathfinder did.
High caliper stiffness facilitates firm
pedal feel and linear
response with increasing demand for
braking effort.
The four - piston Brembo front
brakes provide plenty of stopping power, but a lack of linear
response through the
pedal translated to inconsistent performance around town.
The
brake system hardware is tuned for quick
response, low effort, and short
pedal travel.

brake booster and master cylinder design and a new high - rigidity
pedal, to enhance
response and shorten
pedal stroke, with g - force generated aligning with
pedal stroke.

The IDS alters 11 different functions of the vehicle, which include steering assist,
brake assist, torque vectoring, throttle
response, accelerator
pedal mapping, transmission mapping, engine sound, and battery management.
The
brakes seemed pretty powerful, with a smooth, linear
pedal response that did not require a firmly planted boot to turn high speeds into a smooth, controlled decel.
The
brake pedal communicates a softer
response than the others on test, and required more input when achieving similar stops.
the twinamic 6 - speed dual - clutch transmission now comes with a 40 % faster
response time and shorter - legged ratio and it boasts a Race function, that the driver activates by simply releasing the
brake pedal after previously depressing it and flooring the throttle
pedal.
An extremely stiff
pedal box contributes to a particularly solid
pedal feel, and the
brake assistance is tuned to give a very progressive feel, while softening the initial
response.
The
brakes were responsive with good
pedal feel, while the electric steering offered adequate feel and
response through the leather - wrapped steering wheel, regardless of what mode it was in (we left it in Normal).
Normal pressure exerted on the
pedal produces a gradual and even
braking effect, while more energetic pressure (as in sports driving) yields a keener
braking response, delivering at a specific instant a distinct increase in
braking power.
This senses any rapid throttle lift - off and initiates a small
brake hydraulic pressure build - up in anticipation of the
brakes being applied, to give better
pedal response and slightly shorter stopping distances.
When making a left turn at an intersection, Turn Assist detects the approach of oncoming traffic, determining whether you have space to go or not and provides
brake pedal feedback in
response.
The 2016 CLA is also equipped with Adaptive
braking, which sets the
brake pads closer to the discs when you quickly lay off the gas
pedal, providing more immediate
response if you need to quickly hit the
brakes.
Touching the Cayenne's
brake pedal resulted in an immediate
response, engaging the six - piston calipers in the front and four - piston calipers in the rear.
