Question ESP?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but, AFAIK, my MY98 Impreza Turbo doesn't have any electronic handling aids, other than the (crap) ABS. Could somebody tell me if any of the later Imprezas have any such gizmos?

Before I saw Tiff Needell's test on Fifth Gear, I would've agreed with you. However, as long as there's an OFF button, then you can have the best of both worlds: a safe familar car and a driver play thing.

I can't help thinking that Scoobies are being left behind. There's only so much you can do with mechanical goodies. The electronics really can make a difference to going more quickly.
