I wouldn't go as far as to say it was rubbish, afterall it is running generation 8 software; but theres certainly room for improvement. Under heavy braking you think you've got lots of grip and as you push the pedal harder the ABS kicks in unexpectedly and puts the car into a skid.

At least it's no-where near as bad as VW's, lad at my Uni has just got a new Golf GTI and fuck me it's a great car but its coupled up to the worst ABS system ever
