I have to say the ESP system MB has is very good. My freind and I were playing with his E300D in a very slick parking lot. With the ESP on it was very hard to get the car to spin. With it off it was only a matter of flooring it and turning the wheel. Also with ESP on it was easy to stop a spin, these systoms in new cars are very good and worth the extra money.


A common mistake I see people make is when they start to slide or spin in the snow they hit the brakes. This only makes it worse, doing nothing to the pedals or adding a little power on a fwd car seems to work well. As the saying goes:

"when in a spin both feet in"
"when in doubt both feet out"
