When I bought it in January, I noticed there were no accessories at all ... no cruise control, no power windows, etc.
I also noticed that nowhere did I see an "ABS" logo, so I assumed it didn't have it.
But the other day I was on the highway, and the guy in front of me suddenly slowed down for some reason. So I slammed on the brakes, and because the distance was so small, I instinctively changed lanes in order to avoid him. Luckily, the lane was clear so I didn't hit anyone.
I was freaked out (my first close call), but later I suddenly realized that the brakes never locked, I was able to steer even though I was braking so hard.
Now, I'm not sure how hard I was pushing the brakes -- maybe it wasn't all the way. Or maybe I was.
Is there any way to find out whether I've got ABS?
Dumb question - does my MX have ABS?

There's definitely no ABS light on there. Actually I think the oil light came on when I slammed the brakes (I'm not sure because I wasn't staring at the console when it happened).
Anyway, it seems I'm ABSless. No biggie, I was just wondering. Luckily it's still a hell of a car!

Good point ... now that you mention it, I have felt that ... on a friend's Toyota. Freakystrange sensation.Flashpoint2 wrote:ABS sucks. You'd know if you had ABS because when you hit the brakes hard and stay on them, your brakes will start to feel like they are grinding. It's the oddest feeling the first time you hit ABS brakes hard.
