Post Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system

How useful is VSA in everyday driving? Does it give the driver more control under bad driving conditions, cornering etc. Thanks.

VSA is good for idiots who drive on loose gravel. Nice to have though.

LMAO

It definately does help on slippery surfaces like snow or rain slick roads. The cool thing is you can turn it on and off, so if someone wants to race you, you can flip it off, kick his ass off the line, then turn it back on when you're driving normal again. The VSA works with the traction control to keep you straight. Obviously it's not a bad thing to have....

It will assist in any weather when there is an incipient loss of control. It helps most drivers who do have enough experience it maintaining control when the car skids.

BTW, it is bundled with the TCS and ABS. (It supercedes TCS since individual wheel braking is the basis of the VSA)

It also keeps the car in a straight line when taking an onramp at 110. LOL
