Obviously anyone reading this forum prefers rear wheel drive, no abs, no power anything. As it should be. What good is a safety feature if it makes you a worse driver? And there is a major difference in the quality of safety features, ford abs sucks to the point of being dangerous. I almost wrecked a contour once because of it. The abs on my bmw 740 is much more refined and is a welcome addition. I understand american cars are cheaper and thus suck all over but do thy have to suck in the safety department? In my opinion you NEED to know what kind of features a car has before you get behind the wheel so you'll know how to drive it in a bad situation. If 98% of people don't even know what abs is how is that going to be possible?
