Yeah the system can ruin take offs! I turn it off regularly, unless (like you said bourney) it's raining or on the way to work

It's definately better with it of from a hard driving stand point. It gets even more stroppy with more mods.

With the mods I am running which are not extreme in any sense, ESP is just purely a pain when you do anything, including over taking. In stock guise it isn't as bad. But really for normal driving, just turn it off and enjoy, nothing bad will happen

I do not find it intrusive at all. Maybe the extra weight, combined with the detuned version and different gear ratios, result in a different feeling. Although I run bluefin which changes the tuning to probably be in line with a stock focus. Anyone regularly driven both and compared? |
