    I definitely can lock up my brakes. Have done it. My abs is out. The VX is a heavy vehicle with 1999 brake technology. It never will stop as well as a Fiesta at less than half the weight with modern technology.

    My ABS is out right now, but i intend to fix it - help a lot during ski trips. At any rate, it seems reasonable that 99 tech is no match 1-2 year old rental cars, as far a s weight - I remember renting a big mini van last year and loading it up for burning man and I was impressed by its stopping ability compared to VX.
    P.S. my other car is smart - now that thing STOPS
