What about the traction control? Traction control is works similarly to ABS... the wheels actually start to lose traction and the TRC senses this and backs off the throttle a bit. ABS is definately worth having... it will stop you from sliding under pretty much any condition be it bald tyres, slippery roads or just extremely heavy braking. Contrary to popular belief ABS does not decrease your stopping distance... it is merely a safegaurd which engages when you brake harder than the tyres can grip on the road. I do find it annoying sometimes though... sometimes it kicks in when you hit a small rut in the road under brakes and you feel like you are breaking something. [Report message to a moderator]
