HKF raises a point which I was going to ask at the Honda dealership but bottled out of for fear of looking a complete idiot (which I am when it comes to mechanical knowledge of cars).

I didn't realise it was possible to have VSA fitted after supply. I presume Honda won't be doing it. What's the rough cost of fitting something like that with another company such as the one mentioned and are you able to turn yours off, HKF? Presumably much more than the

The racelogic system is fully adjustable and can be turned off if you want to.


Have a look here:

Danny, you will find that it drives like any other car below 6000rpm,
doubt that you need traction control.

My girlfriend just got a new Mini so I bought her Ka as a runaround...

Now that is gay..

A few people have joined recently and judged the car before owning it. No issue at all driving it all year, I have and others have done loads more miles than me and not crashed.

Its harsh to say, and I know it will upset a few people but I think if you crash at any normalish speed, it was going to happen to any car, or the driver ran out of talent. Lets face it, its not that powerful below 6k and if you're using that rev range on a roundabout or without attention to the conditions, its your fault

The recent review of the Racelogic is impressive if you decide you need it.

Id say buy it, drive it and see how you get on!

Welcome too!

Enjoy the car. Do some driver training in it, that will teach you more about control than VSA will
