I bought a 6 month old Fiesta which is a lovely little car.

However I can’t gel with the brakes.

Fine at speed but they seem very unpredictable at lowish speeds.

They will slow you normally sometimes but other times seem to come on unnecessarily hard. It’s really difficult to predict.

I’ve read that it’s to do with the regen system.

Has anybody else got this car and are they all like that?

I've got a new Kuga MHEV and it's the same and very difficult to moderate the brakes. As you say, it's to do with the regen system.

The start/stop also does my head in as it's far too enthusiastic to shut off the engine so I generally turn it off as soon as I start a journey and only use it when in slow moving traffic.
