Belgian car magazine AutoGids talked about ESP as if it were standard together with the manual airco , radio/cd-player with control on the steeringwheel).
I sure hope it's standard in Belgium.. or at least available as option on launch.

Hmm, some interesting answers. Hopefully it will become an option later then. After all it seems silly putting in the extra time to put ESP into the car, then not offer it, even as an option and not as standard

I quite like it on my Mondeo.

It comes in too early for me but it controls the car very nicely and is a much more pleasent way of doing it than just normal traction control (i.e. cutting the power). It only does what it feels is required and when I caught some wet leaves on the road a while back it behaved impecibly.

My brother knows a Ford testdriver and asked him to give an answer to this one. The testdriver asked arround and got different responses so did more digging.

This is apparently the last info he got from a chief engineer in the UK.:

Hi mate, happy new year

There's a little confusion over this at the mo - in Britain it's meant to be standard, but the very first batch of cars may not have it, but the rest will; whereas in some European markets it may be a cost option...

Gareth




Still alot of "may" in there as you can see

Would also like to if the statement about the first batch not having it but the rest will, as there is no option or a mention of it in the current fiesta catologue, would rather probably wait to get this extra feature but if its 6 months away, i won't bother with it!
