I've driven in snow for many years but this is the first car I've had with ABS brakes and driving in snow now feels like the ABS is increasing the stopping distance. With conventional non ABS brakes, even though they lock up I felt more confidence in braking where the tyres would dig into the snow. ABS may be good for steering around bends but for stopping in a straight line in snow I think I prefer non ABS.
