Parking brake acts funny on 2008 Mazda3 with 4-wheel discs - or is it normal?

Recently the parking brake on my 2008 Mazda 3 has sometimes required a longer pull before holding the car. It's not consistent, so I don't think it's a matter of a simple adjustment. It doesn't seem to be related to snow. I couldn't find any service bulletins on this.

I bought the car a few months ago, at a small used car dealer in the Twin Cities that specializes in Japanese cars. It has about 65K miles, and otherwise runs fine.

I would inspect the park brake

Do you mean the cable, or the part at the back wheels, or the whole thing? I was hoping to find out if this particular model is prone to this, or if someone solved a similar problem.
