I don't know why, but the past months fathers have been very generous. My father gave me the S60, since he is going to buy an SUV.

So i have a new car since September, when i moved house.

Yannis, has ESP got anything to do with traction? I thought it has more to do with the attitude of the car - if the car's motion sensors think that the car is not going in the direction that is indicated by a set of 'normal' parameters regarding the steering input and so forth, it will brake wheels and/or reduce power until grip is regained and the car is heading in the right direction.

Traction control does the same thing for travelling in a straight line - but activates where the wheel spin rate does not match the car's velocity.

The two may or may not be combined in one package or one acronym, but aren't necessarily the same thing. That said, I would almost venture to say that any car that has ESP has traction control, which seems to be a slightly simpler and much cheaper thing to put on a car.

Yeah, Yannis is talking about traction control moreso than ESP.
And a FWD car without ESP is even worse than a RWD car without ESP, imo
