Hello, i am watching some YouTube videos and some reviewers say that the fiat 500 comes with stability control as standard. Is that only in the US?

Thank you. In some cars next to the gear stick they have a button ASR OFF and is some other they have ESC Off. The buttons are in the same location.
I just want to know if the 500s in the uk come with A stability control system (esc, esp or whatever) as standard or not.
no only the 1.4 came with it as standard. on ta, diesel and 1.2 all a paid option.What about the 2012 model?

I think it became standard in 2014 due to EU laws, not because of Fiat generosity or anything = )
I cant understand how essential the stability control is. Will i need it or not? I am in the Uk and is raining all time..
i find it useful in situations where there is some oil on the road on a slippery corner and you lose control suddenly without expecting. The stability control can react faster and better than you. It has happened = )It's not essential at all; we've been using cars for over 100 years without it. The 500, like almost all modern cars, is perfectly stable in the rain unless you drive it like an idiot.
I most certainly wouldn't let the absence of it influence my purchasing decision on a used car.
Does the 500 come with ABS as standard?
Yes. ABS has been a mandatory requirement on all passenger cars sold in the EU since 2004.
Thank you. That is good. However, i cant find a car within but budget that has ASR lol. I will keep looking but if i cant find i think it will be ok to buy one without it!
