A firm pedal, like that on the American made cars and the Japanese imports is what I feel is desirable. My wife has a Subaru and the pedal on that barely moves and the pedal starts getting firm. I had a Chev. HHR until recently and the brake's were great on that car, too! Very nice brake feel!
I solicit any helpful information.

Hope that helps out with both problems !
As said before, the spongy soft brake pedals can be solved with a bleed/flush with new DOT4 fluid. Many have had this occure with old fluid. Try it, least expensive and least troublesome solution!
