Question for owners, past and present, of 4WD cars (particularly quattros): what's the real world difference in feel and behaviour between having ESP on and ESP off?

On the R32 I switched off the ESP in order to throw it around a bit to try and explain to the missus what it was for, but it always seemed to switch itself back on.

It was never a twitchy car - it weighed too much to be anything other than planted through corners.

Apparently I can switch one thing off by tapping the ESP button and switch all driver AIDS off by holding it, I've done both and noticed nothing, like you say it's too planted by weight to make a big diff
