I am looking into buying a 2009 SX4 AWD (AT). I was looking for some of the bells and whistles (i.e. AWD, power locks, etc) and thought the mid-level SX4 suited me fine. I have noticed the higher end model comes with ESP (electronic stability program). I haven't had much experience with this as this is only my second car but is this worth the extra expense (I live in Canada and it does get quite snowy at times).
Thanks!
Thanks!

in some situations you'll what to turn it off. theres a switch on the consule.
One should be on alert for the ESC light blinking at you as the system's performance is so good that it is pretty easy overdrive the limits of your brakes (and every other car on the road) and that blinking is a good indication to back off and make sure your brain is engaged.
In our clime (we rarely get more than 6" of snow at a shot) the Turenzas seem to work fine.
