There is nothing wrong with drum brakes in terms of stopping power. Their weakness is fade resistance (and recovery from water immersion).

Love the brakes. Came from a Toyota Corolla and it took me a few days to get used to the 118TSI brakes. Have now done 10000kms and still think they are great. You adapt quickly... and then the brakes in other cars feel a little heavy or sluggish.
I'm still enjoying just driving this car, and the chirp from the supercharger is just a very small price to pay...Golf VI GTI MY13 Candy white/ DSG/ Detroits/ tint/ reverse camera/ parking sensors
