RGB Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I would like to know who of you have got the IVD option: You know, ESP -stability system-, TCS -traction control-, and EBA -emergency braking aid-. In my opinion all this should be standard in such a modern car. And, by the way, can you tell me about the brakes sensitivity, I mean the pressure in the brake pedal required to stop the car. Can you compare it to other cars that you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you compare it to other cars that you know? I have the esp etc on my Zetec S and usually never notice it. Last week after some fresh resurfacing ( read spray on some tarmac and cover with loose chips) locally I went round a slow adverse camber over some loose chips and the braking felt odd but was fine. I have noticed that going along grooves worn by lorries can make the steering "pull" but again no problems. Tonight I had need to brake very quickly and it just DID. I would say that the brakes feel good and " progressive" .They feel about the same in normal use as my previous car ( Rover 75..don't laugh) but much less sharp than my daughters Fiat Grande Punto ( just a tap on her brakes and it HALTS ).

Focus_ST-3 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I also have esp etc and I find the brakes are perfect. They are more powerful and have more "bite" than my previous mk3 mondeo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgepig Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I also have esp etc and I find the brakes are perfect. They are more powerful and have more "bite" than my previous mk3 mondeo. I agree as I have ESP etc too and the brakes are very good indeed. They are well balanced and have just the right amount of bite. A light foot on the pedal is all that's required............
