is the VSA system really good?

When I test drive the CL and CL-S I did not notice a lot of difference expect the power, and maybe the handling. I know that CL-S has the VSA system but CL doesn't have. Is that a really good thing? How do your guys feel about it? Thanks a lot.

It is very good. Works for me on snow and wet roads. Haven't pushed the car hard enough on dry to test it out, but expect it to be good there also..

I have tried to throw the tail around during a medium speed turn on dry pavement (in a wide open parking lot of course), but the VSA would not let me.
Just as the back tires started to squeal, the VSA did its magic...don't know the sequence of events, but it controls braking and throttle while monitoring wheel spin, g force, etc.

It won't save you from everything. If you go into a turn too hot and lift off you will spin like a top! I have pushed it on purpose and I found this out first hand. I was actually trying to see what would happen. It was controllable because I was expecting it but I could see where it would catch you off guard. Don't misunderstand, it's good and a definite help but it won't overcome the laws of physics just help you cheat a little.
