I have to admit that I made sure the TF I bought to replace my written off MG F didn't have ABS. My other car (Citroen C5) does have ABS, along with a whole other set of bells and whistles, which is great for keeping the family safe, but in that you are cocooned from the world around you as yo u drive. I bought the MG initially as a fun car, also a project car to mess around with and enjoy.
I like the fact that I have to be more aware of the driving environment, there is too much complacency on the roads due to an over reliance on technology. This has made the roads just as dangerous as they ever were in my experience, rather than making them a lot safer.
Having said that, having to be more aware didn't protect me from the Audi that hit me from behind at a roundabout, writing off my MG F, and he DID have ABS, but still failed to stop even though I was stationary.
Technology is only as good as the person operating it.
