Apparently. Either that or they don't know what proper brakes feel like because they never drove a rental Kia and so they think that shaking is normal when they apply the brakes, lol. That's how I noticed it this time around, coming from driving a Kia Optima for a month, I immediately noticed how shitty my brakes felt, front end and wheel shaking noticeably. I think it had "crept up" on me while I dailied the Z and I didn't notice it until yesterday having not driven it in a month.
PS. I drove the Optima the same way I drove my Z, although I was about 5mph slower on the corners (I pushed it more than my Z, I guess, in the scheme of things. I stay far from what I think the limits are in my Z, taking corners at about 0.4-0.6g, based on what I used to see on my G-meter in the Z06 at the same speed on the same corners). In about 2000 miles, I did not manage to harm the Kia Optima in any way, except for a small carbon smudge on a seat where I set my suppressed M4. I cleaned it off though before turning it in.
