IMO ABS blows, no matter the vehicle. Its crappy for braking, and only really useful for keeping yoru vehicle straight and turning. It is overly sensitive on some Subarus though.

Your best bet is to learn threshold braking, or just to slow down, and get a GOOD set of tires (All seasons, especially the stock RE92's are not good winter tires).

Although I dont suggest it, there is a fuse somewhere to disable the ABS. look in the owners manual, or in some of the fuse boxes.
