ABS brakes / Would you buy a Yaris without them? - Toyota Yaris Forums

FWIW......
The Yaris ABS do no prevent the bakes from locking up or hinder the braking in anyway.

They simply just only allow the bakes to be locked up intemitantly.

So, if you never want the brakes to lock up and drive acordingly, you will never know you have ABS. There is absolutly no pedal pulsating, etc.

Saying you would never need ABS is like saying you will never need seat belts, air bags, power steering, bumpers, etc because you are a good driver.
No one can control road conditions or other drivers on the road.

I'm a "stick and rudder" type driver and never liked ABS but, the ABS on the Yaris is a non issue for me.
