I love my 08 speed3 but there are a couple small cons. And when I say small I mean it. There's a rattle somewhere in the glove box that happens over bumps or if I have the stereo loud, and I have to turn the traction control off every time I turn the car on. Other than that, I love everything about it. I really don't know why people would complain about a car having ABS. No new car should be sold without ABS, it's a feature that saves lives. To me, ABS is just as important as airbags and seat belts.
