VSA now standard on all Honda cars

Honda are fitting Vehicle Stability Assist as standard on all new Honda 2010 production models across the range.

VSA assists the driver in maintaining control during cornering, acceleration and sudden manoeuvres by applying brake force to any of the four wheels, as necessary, and managing the throttle and ignition systems.

It automatically intervenes with corrective action and works with the anti-lock braking system to apply individual brakes to help keep the vehicle on its intended path. The driver can opt to disable the VSA if desired.

VSA is Honda's equivalent of ESP.
