   As above?
   
   Got my phase two a few months back, but was reading up and shouldnt it have abs and tc?
   
   Im not complaining because i hate all the wizzy computer shit, im even hating my P/S at the moment... its too light, its like pushing a baby off a cliff

   Only the VTS has ABS as standard, Was an optional extra for others.
   No Saxos have traction control.

   Who wants traction control? Its so evasive in every car i have driven.
   
   1) 147 GTA it was far easier to control with my right foot because VDC bogged it down
   2) BMW 530D bogged down so much with the traction control.
   3) Ford Mondeo diesel bogged down
   4) Toyota Prius bogged down.
   
   TC = CRAP

   I didn't know a prius could go fast enough to break traction You sure it wasn't just because its slow as shit

   how does tc work? does it just cut the power to the wheels? and im guessing more advanced tc systems will just cut the power to certain wheels which the car sense's that is loosing traction?
