ESP on the veedub polo 1.9 TDI

Post by blahmoocow »

Hey guys,

Buying my tdi next week, wonder if I really need to fork out the extra 5k for the esp. Already stretched with my budget just buying the car, but if its a must then I'll make a plan. (e.g no sunroof =))

I would recommend putting in the esp!

Look at this article: http://www.motoring.co.za/index.php?fSe ... Id=2497538

I have test driven one myself(also buying soon :D ) on a wet day and believe me you will need the esp on a rainy day.
