I agree that the there is no substitue for good driving.

Having said that, the Yaris is the fist car I ever purchased with ABS.
Early ABS was anoying and had much to be desired.
However modern ABS like on the Yaris is not that bad at all IMO.
There is now no pedal pulsating, etc and it seems that ABS has finally matured, just like power steering had to do.

Also,, if road conditions are slipery, (even potentially) one should not push the car too hard to begin with.

Not at the moment since the sensors are all messed up and I will not get them repaired unless there's a recall from Toyota since there are so many people having this problem.

I've never had ABS activate on any car I've driven(roughly 700,000 miles over the last 10 years)...man this thread is old.

It is just another nanny device for people that shouldn't have drivers licenses.
this says everything. Old threads are fun, it is interesting to see all the old peoples who ran away.
