my 93 wrx has not got abs. under hard braking in the wet last week i locked a wheel and the car went sideways. however stopping distances are often increased with abs so its horses for courses.

Depends on your driving style and what you have been bought up on i suppose. I think i must of had 20 years driving before i got my first abs equipped car. I have now had several and never once activated it under heavy braking. I think people who learned to drive with abs equipped cars need or rely on it more than those bought up without it. It may effect your insurance if the car was equipped with it as standard but now has it removed.
