Pig Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 ABS is one great thing! wouldnt buy a car without it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I bought my son an old 'D' reg VW Polo when he was learning to drive. I let him use that for a year before letting him loose in a more modern car (my MX6 at the time). His first comment was "I don't like the MX6 brakes Dad." "Why not?" "They work!" PS. He's 22 now and now driving a Punto (that I bought him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The S2000 has ABS and nothing else, so going by the steering test, maybe the BMW is a heap of shit? "The others just managed to keep control of the car but only by creeping round the cones at a snail’s pace. " She found it easy in her S2k, unless they are counting LSD and a decent chassis as a driver aid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I drive a 94 Rover... it doesn't even have brakes let alone ABS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 My Renault has better brakes than the Supe!! Mind you it weighs about as much as a crisp packet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 i think ABS is great on a road car but the supes ABS really did become intrusive on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black cat Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 my saxo is superb, but does tend to lock up under heavy brakeing when your least expecting it, that what comes with a rollerskate, however the c2 has ESP,traction control and abs the brakes are on or off. the sup is stopping by its self, no....................... right front caliper is binding i think........... i dont need that, iam hoping it will free up when it gets used more. tt steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 My nova doesnt have any driver aids and with a 2.0 16v engine its spins in most gears, it slides round corners rather than steers, it locks up at the sligtest tap on the brakes especially the back end which adds to the fun , the steering is very heavy and its so much fun to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
