If you're going to snipe somebody and offer contrary information...you should probably check to see whether you're actually...you know....right.  |
My first comment is in regards to ABS. ABS has many downsides, it ruins pedal "feel" and makes the pedal "spongy" reducing your "connection" with the brakes. And I'm not completely convinced it reduces braking distance with an experienced driver. But my personal experience was in a base 2wd manual Ranger vs some of the earlier modern mini-vans so not a great deal of experience here.
Having full defeatable electronic control systems is important to me as well. But I do believe there should be a cheat code for completely disabling electronic controls. And from the few cases I have heard there are cheat codes to disable aids if turning them off doesn't do so.
