ABS brakes
who has anti-lock brakes ?
|
I specified it as an option on my car. I wanted that little bit of added safety since I have a child and since it came with the side impact air bags I had to have it. Lower insurance also.

I know exactly what you mean. I want ABS, but I cannot locate one(MP5) with the other options I want in south florida :(
|
all P5s in canada (i think) come stanadard with ABS....we dont get the side impact air bag's though

No ABS here. I got my car during the final days of the 0% APR + $0 Down promotion my dealership had going. It was the second to last 2002.5 Protege that dealer had so it was really like this:
Me: What happen?! Friend: Someone set up us the bomb! We get signal! Me: WHAT! Friend: Main screen turn on! Me: It's you! Dealer: How are you gentlemen? All your Proteges are belong to us! You are on your way to destruction! Me: What you say? Dealer: You have no chance to survive make your time! HAHAHA! Hmmm, missing ABS - way to destruction.... missing ABS - no chance to survive... HM! |
didn't have trouble getting the ABS option on my es. Glad i have it but then i dont think it was ever in a situation that needed it
|
i was hoping that the mazdaspeed had ABS as an option. i'm really on the fence right now as to whether or not i want them for track use. anyone on the board do any professional racing or high performance driving and have an opinion on ABS at the track?
|
good feedback :bt:
KpaBap, all your base, your base, your base... all your base are belong to us. :dunno: |
turns out that ABS is not a "popular" option in Florida. Non of the dealers ordered the cars with ABS, so I'm w/o it. I drove my brand new car home tonight and the brakes were excellent (great feel, no fade).

I think the production MSP's have ABS standard, but the test cars used in the magazines did not.
I don't do any professional driving but I do not prefer ABS. If the weather would create a situation where I needed the ABS to stay in control of the car, I would not even be in the car in the first place. I take a Jeep Wrangler out if it is snowing or icy. Plus if you do any track driving it would inhibit certain ways of driving that some people like. I love left foot brake drifts in light rain. ABS would not allow it. Or cornering very hard and jamming the brake quickly to get a nice bark and tiny slide from all four tires. I love that stuff. Just don't try it on a road you are not familiar with. There are benifits of ABS though, obviously. Personally I am fine with out it. |
ABS
:p
U know, I went to a Mazda Dealer close to my house, and left $500 deposit for a Laser Blue P5 w/ABS and all optionals, and it is been 3 weeks and they can't locate a car w/ this options. If any one knows anything about this ABS s... please let me know. Otherwise I buy w/o....3 weeks waiting.... can u believe?... Later..... |
If you're willing to wait a couple of months you could probably custom-order your car straight from the factory just the way you want it...
I wish that ABS was optional in Canada :( |
