Polo brakes

[KOTSY]

Really sharp brakes on the front of my car.
Everything seems fine. Anyone else had this problem?

Is it pulling to one side or pulling up straight?

Is this a new development on the car, or always been like this?
Over-assistance on the brakes is common on lots of cars, it's maybe just the way it's supposed to be.
When I jump into our Sportage from the Polo, it's a nightmare until I get used to the sensitivity again.
It must be a nightmare for her to drive in slippery conditions.
Changing brake pads to a different brand can reduce the sensitivity, but you'd need to find someone who's done it before and knows which pads to use.

Thanks for all the answers only had the car a short while. It pulls up straight. Will try new pads. Thanks again.

I seem to remember thinking that the front brakes on my wife’s 2002 9N Polo, when it was new, were vicious when compared with her previous cars, but I soon got used to them and remembered to stamp on the brakes on my car, while being light footed with her Polo, that car did have”enhanced braking distribution “ and at times I initially thought that it was that that was making this happen. Enhanced braking distribution was a form of emergency braking where if the brakes were applied quickly/firmly, the ABS system took over and applied emergency braking, and not just the usual anti locking of the brakes.
