Escos is by now means a safe/easy to drive car. Lot's of unpredictebla behaviour of the rear end, needs quick hands and pricize throttle when slippery - not for people who don't have skill to drive it.

I'm thinking exactly oopposite - in dry conditions, ABS helps save tires - especcially when emergency braking form very high speeds I do accept that, but deprives you of control of the car - especially in slippery conditions,a nd in snow you just have no brakes with ABS... I know what I'm talking about - I do drive in snow quite a lot. I just came home from a ride around city and there are patches of ice everywhere... can't imagine driving 300HP homologation special with no possibility of left-foot braking it, "brake throwing" it into a corner or things like that.
