ABS is just now getting to be good. cars in the late 90s and older had alot of horrible antilock brakes stuck on them. i had many horrible expericances with a 97 caviler that didnt want to ever stop on icy hills even at less then 5 miles an hour it would never totaly stop the car they just didnt pulse fast enough. while the same hill with a nonabs car was no problem at all. While at the same time some of the better luxery cars made the same time had great ABS. so personaly i would rather just have a car without ABS just because i like to have more control over stopping the car then some abs systems could give. But im the type of driver thats never in a hurry to get anywhere so its very very rare that i have to stop fast. When the rare time comes up that i do need to stop fast i still prefer a good set of normal brakes over antilock. Antilock brakes only help if you hit the brake hard enough to skid with normal brakes. thats easy enough to control in all but the worst driving conditions and at times like that like solid sheets of ice and even the best anti lock brakes wont help there.
