Totally satisfied, and that paint in the sun...  |
When I did the driver training course offered by Ford a few people managed to smoke the tyres off the line in the emergency braking test. I can confirm that the
ABS works shockingly well on these cars, IIRC we sped up to 70km/h then slammed on the brakes hard.
