The one thing about Honda, Acura and Nissan cars that I own or have owned is the lousy brakes. It really stood out to me while trying to brake my Integra GSR at speed on the autobahn when I lived in Germany. They were really substandard, particularly compared to my Saab. I used to own an Audi Coupe GT that had brakes that squeaked. That was the only problem because they worked very well, unlike those on my Japanese cars. German cars of that era used harder compounds compared to the Japanese at the time. The occasional squeak did not bother me after I knew what was happening. Brake compounds have improved. I solved some of the brake problem on my Integra by going to a high performance brake pad. It helped, but it is no where near the braking capabilities of my Saab, or even my Focus. Thankfully, the Integra is back in the USA where the brake problem is not so obvious. Great brakes are an must have for the autobahn, which is one reason European cars, and German cars in particular, tend to have excellent brakes.
