New Civic 5D: Bad brakes?

Hello I have just tested the new Civic 1.8 iVtec and am totally enthusiastic about the car. Tomorrow I will then drive 2.2 CDTI to the rehearsal. What makes my enthusiasm a little dull is that during my researches in the net (in particular AMS report on VOX) I pointed out that apparently 1. the braking distance of the Civic (100-0) is 6 meters (!) longer than Seat Leon or Alfa and 2. after the 3rd full braking not much more from the braking system. Does anyone know more? f affordable type – an improvement of the brakes limp?
