Hi,
I'm still in my first 2 weeks of being an S4 owner. It's a 2000 (W) model. No performance enhancements. I'm very pleased with it - better than expected. Great to drive.
Anyway...
Yesterday I had to do an emergency stop from about 60 mph. A van pulled out in front of me with no indicator or other warning. I applied the brake as hard as I could.
The car stopped in time... phew! And I was happy with the stopping distance and control, given the initial speed.
However, I didn't get much "kick back" feedback from the brake pedal due to the ABS kicking in?! I did skid slightly while stopping though. Maybe this is all fine. I'm just curious as my last car (an A3) produced a very noticable feedback from the ABS, through the brake pedal.
Anyone else comment of their own experience of ABS?
thanks
Gordon
