The difference is very pronounced, if the conditions are conditioned ESC off and I was avoiding pedestrians who suddenly flashed then I slam the steering wheel to the left and to the right, the car will automatically twist and I must make corrections manually. This does not happen when the condition of ESC on, the car still drove fine when I slam the steering wheel to the left and to the right.
