Thanks everyone for your advice. I think Pat describes my impressions of the 986 brakes very closely. And also they reminded me of my old 911 which did not have power-assisted brakes but worked very well anyway.

I had driven a few Boxsters in the past but not for a while, so I could not clearly remember noticing anything about the brakes.

The car is for sale from a local Porsche specialist service company, and the sales guy said that the brake 'feel' is normal due to the design of the 986 master cylinder. He said the the cylinder was redesigned for the 987 and has more feel.

I guess I am just used to my wife's Subaru, which has a fairly soft brake pedal.

Thanks again.
