Our Noobeetle has ESP

It seems it is to prevent over & understeer
You cant seem to turn it on and leave it on. You have to turn it on and off manually.
Why wouldnt you want to turn it on and leave it on??
I can see it would be GREAT on the highway.
Why wouldnt you run it in the city??

I have it in the GTI , and it is always on. I have to turn it off if I want to hoon (not often)
maybe it has a preference set up somewhere??????
check the book???

heh
Yeh, it'll always be on.. even when it's off. It'll just let you push the car a little harder. Manufacturers do that to spoil the fun (and not let us destroy ourselves so we can buy more of their products later on :) ooooooo it's a conspiracy!)

Trust me, you'll know when it turns the fun off.

Lights flash, the wheels chirp, and the car brings itself into line.

That's when you know you're driving 10/10ths on a public road and take it to the race track.

thanks,
