No, not all 172s have traction control...

The mk1s never got it, neither did Cups and the early mk2s missed out as well.

Was brought in mid 2002 and ESP is the traction control system.
 


is esp a worthwhile thing to have? buying my 172 soon so was wondering if its worht paying more for a 52 with it than say an 02 without? any opinions?
 


Yeah its worth having.

Does dick all in the wet above 4k in 1st and 2nd though.

Oh and remember to turn it off before you launch away from the lights otherwise you will look REALLY stupid!!
 


k will remember that so it well worht getting the slightly newer car then? i know its traction control but what else does it control the esp sytstem i mean? i was reading the brochure but couldnt understand lol!
