Re: Thoughts on ABS? 200 92

Brakes should behave the same. ABS will only come into action when things go wrong. If you are relying on ABS frequently your drive style is such you will end up in an accident regardsless of ABS. I say a good driver benefits from ABS mabye once a year and only becouse he did something supid which could have been avoided (drive slower, keep distance etc)

I have been driving cars without ABS for 15 years (including ice and snow), never had an accident, never had a need for ABS. Personally I wouldn't buy a car with ABS, only more to go wrong/maintain. Just drive carefully.

One of the main safety features of the 240 is that you can't really drive it hard, best safety feature there is.

Happy drivin'

Reg,
