My wife drives a 2.5 sentra with 4 wheel disc brakes, they're really good brakes but feel a bit soft as you press on them. My 05 S, feels just like that. However, both vehicles stop on a dime when you slam on the brakes. The vehicle I drove prior to my X was a ranger and it had really tight brakes - touch them and you go thru the windshield... That is not to say that the X has shitty brakes. They're very effective, it just takes some getting used to...
