Does anyone like ABS?

From the majority of people I have talked too they dislike it. I also don't really like it much... It's anti-lock, but when you brake hard it feels like it locks.... or is it just me.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

Our ABS works fine. If you don't like ABS, try autocrossing in a car with ABS compared to a car without ABS. Then you'll LOVE ABS.

ABS helps but the car can still skid....
ABS is not perfect....
i remember making a explorer skid even though it had ABS.....

also, although steering is possible while braking hard, it's not perfect steering since the car still skids a bit if you brake extremely hard while moving at 90km/h

Wow, if you were from up north, you would know. I guess driving on ice and snow is totally foreign to you. When abs is active the pedal makes a pulsating/gringing feel. You should really be familiar with this since an emergency is not the right time to find out.

if i didn't have abs i probably would have slaughtered a dozen deer since i've gotten my car. when i was looking for cars that was one of the 'must-have' features. i love it.
