Don't have. The made in Korea car in this class with ABS is the Aveo. The main complaint about it is that it doesn't move off as fast as it stops with ABS.

Yes and not to forget its only EURONCAP 2 stars depite having ABS...hmmm..if ABS taken away, perhaps only left 1 star??

[Rickster]

Actually on dry roads, ABS actually has a longer stopping distance when compared to non ABS in a straight line. ABS only really works well during wet weather by preventing skids and allowing to still be able to control the car while braking hard.

Thanks all!

Only for those "deer illuminated by headlights" drivers who jam hard on the brakes and do nothing else.

 

Anyway, the ABS control unit it uses is the same from the Kalos model to the new Aveo. Damn hard to activate it. The computer seems very intelligent. The only time on the dry when I activated it was when I did a hard brake on a turn. Pretty good to let the wheels gain traction for the turn. After that, I didn't experience it anymore as I do LFB.

 

If only they pack it with all those 4 airbags like the US version. The SG version only has 1 airbag.

Thought NCAP is a crash test? It doesn't factor in brakes, or ABS at all.

[Genie47]

No it doesn't. I think airbags count.

Verna also has ABS. Its the name for accent 2006. Quite a good car!

[Genie47]

That is for the 1.6L version.

[Familymanz]

aiyo... ppl inquiring abt 2005 Accent rah.... not 2006 Verna....

 

Verna is Verna in Sillypore. Its called Accent elsewhere, for the existing model

 

Kinda strange as Accent was called Verna in Korea & now its called Accent domestically....

[Spidy]

Komoco only bring cars with ABS for 1.6L & above only

[Spidy]

No you're wrong. 1.4L also has airbag

[Genie47]

What airbag? We are talking about ABS.
