Article on ESP
This is an interesting article about the Volkswagen ESP system, but it's the same as the Audi system. It also appears to be the exact same as a one page flyer I got from my local Audi dealer on ESP. Here is a summary paragraph:
<i>ESP can modulate the braking forces at the individual wheels to correct vehicle motion patterns. As an example, if the vehicle rearend were to spin towards the left under a panic maneuver, the ESP system compensates by generating a pulse to the left front wheel to pull the car back into a straight line. ESP can also "dial in" specific engine power delivery changes to correct the car's diversion from a straight line, either during deceleration or acceleration. ESP can also help to ensure that stopping distances in corners and on road surfaces that have differing traction levels from left to right side.</i><ul><li><a href="http://www.vwvortex.com/news/02_00/02_11_00/index.html">http://www.vwvortex.com/news/02_00/02_11_00/index.html</a</li></ul>

Re: Article on ESP
I realized after ordering my car that I should get this. I found out that it is like not getting ABS. I called my dealer one week after ordering my car and told him to try and put it on the list of options. I haven't heard back yet.
The article made me want it even more. At least you can get it added on after, according to the article.<p> - George -
