Any possability of an ESP retrofit in an '01 Jetta? Or would a new car be cheaper?

Re: Esp

I think there was a top-gear when they did a track test with ESP on and off and they got better times with the ESP on! Except it took them a while to get used to it kicking in.

Yeah, it can really help with cornering at higher speeds I found, as long as you don't take your foot off the gas. It wont do much while you are coasting. Would be a nice addition to me jetta.. but im thinking more and more that it just ain't worth it.
