I know ABS means you get a way better stopping distance, but I don't like it. I feel like I have less control with ABS and I hate that you can feel the ABS kicking in when you stop the car hard for a sudden red light or getting cut off.

I drove without ABS for 6 years, then in this past year, I have been driving another car with ABS.

I did not feel in control. Basically with ABS, I cannot feel or predict my stopping distance like I can without ABS.

Has anyone else went from NO ABS to ABS and thought the same thing?
