Hi all. I test drove a Civic Si-G yesterdsay. Everythings seems fine except when I slamed on the brake on purpose in order to see if the ABS is still in good order(in a safe area of couse), I heard some kind of mechanical noise which came from the front section of the car the exact moment I felt that the ABS kicked in. The dude from the car lot said that the noise was the ABS doing its work.
I would like to know that if the noise from older Civic's ABS suppose to be quite "audible" inside the car or not. It's a used vehicle and I had never driven a ABS equipted car before. I just want to make sure that there's nothing wrong with that car before I make my decision. Thanks for reading.

 

well i think it all depends on how it sounds..but i no in my old car and in my 2000 civic, when the abs kicks in you can REALLY hear it, its not quiet...everytime i here it i cringe because it sounds as if something bad is happining

 

i know ive driven a few ABS cars that were really loud and rough when it kicked in, but thats not saying for sure that theres nothing wrong with this one. sorry thats not a lot of help.[&:]
