TC stops the driven wheels from spinning (traffic light GP etc.) and ESP stabilizes your car by reducing power and selective breaking (to quick in teh twisteez, y0). But only until the limitations of physics (kind of useless if you know how do drive properly).
Bingo.
If you need ESP or TC in a <200HP FWD road car, you got issues.
I have to disagree here completely.
I can honestly say i think the esp in my old 182 saved me and the car from a very nasty accident a couple of years ago. I was following a vectra on my daily commute, the road was very quiet just me and the vectra, neither of us were driving too fast for the conditions, I lost sight of the vectra for a second as he disappeared around a corner, then all of a sudden i saw him hit a van head on, at this very second the back end of the clio broke away, I did correct it myself but i still say the esp had a big part to play in helping me make my way through the accident that had just happened. turns out there was something on the road which had caused him and me to lose grip.
In day to day driving esp is a wonderful feature.

imo if ESP kicks in (y0) you were driving too fast.
