Does anyne feel the diffrence between VSA being Off or On ...?

 

The new Civic also features, across the range, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) designed to assist the driver in maintaining control during cornering, acceleration and sudden Maneuvers by applying brake force to the right or left hand wheels as necessary and managing the throttle and brake systems.

I doubt you feel it during normal driving only when you need it just dont drive like a ASSHAT lol Good Luck !

 

Yes you can feel it if you make a sharp turn your throttle is totally cut down.

 

Out of curiosity, what about an off-throttle oversteer situation? Does VSA keep the throttle open to avoid a loss of control? Hmmm...a parking lot + '07 Si = testing fun! Who's game to try?

 

This might be a noob question but what is oversteer and understeer ?

 

OVERSTEER: Also referred to as "loose." Describes a condition in which the rear of the car is unstable due to a lack of aerodynamic downforce or mechanical grip. Oversteer may be caused by a lack of rear downforce, too much front downforce or insufficient rear grip.

UNDERSTEER: Also referred to
as "push" or "tight." Describes a condition in which the car does not want to turn in the corners due to a lack of aerodynamic downforce or mechanical grip. Understeer may be caused by a lack of front downforce, too much rear downforce or insufficient front grip.

Just to give you an idea, hope this helps

you make it sound really complicated.

when youre turning and the front wheels slip = understeer

turn and rear wheels slip = oversteer

only if it sits 2 feet off of your trunk deck and is made of carbon fiber

O snap....I need to trade my aluminum APC wing in. I was wondering why I was able to drift in my civic without the trays this time.
