Entire car pulse when braking

I just bought a 2001 LX 2.0 with 33k miles and noticed the car pulses when braking. Usually hit happens with light pressure applied gradually. Any ideas?

check rotors for runout. Turn or replace as needed. Also check brake fluid level and make sure it is ON the full line not above or below.

Yep..rotors are gone....replace and get new pads, everything should be fine, and also check the S/CD rotor thread..pretty good deal, especially considering stockers from mazda are $65 a piece
