It is very noticeable to me. When ASC is off, it actually feels like a car. With it on, it feels like it's on partial autopilot. My concern is (and this is the only reason I leave it on), if you ever get in an accident, and they find out that your ASC was off, I can only image the liability you might face.

Does nobody read the manual any more? Really, I'm getting the impression that this car is being bought by a bunch of newly-licensed kids who know nothing about cars in general, other than it can be reflashed for more power (that they can't handle). There is a lot in there about maintenance, too. Like when you should do an oil change (hint: it isn't when the maintenance light comes on!). Why should your dealer need to tell you something, when Mitsubishi spent what appears to be a fair bit on money on writing a HUGE manual that has been written so plainly it can be understood by a kid in kindergarten?
*sigh* screw it....i'll just go back to driving my car. Or not, it's a beautiful day, the bike is better.
in summation...
RTFM!!

Like the previous person said, questions like this make very good conversations arise in forums. If everyone thought like you then these forums would not even be 90% interesting. The manual might say to do an oil change every XXXX miles but that might not be the best for the car. The best might come out of people's experiences and mistakes. Others can learn from the mistakes and experiences and this is where we learn it.

for the record i RTFM and it was little to no help. all it gives it what is mechanically happening, and what this person was asking was the real life results, which aren't mentioned in the manual!

[will I get in trouble now if I point out that even though I already knew it, the above is mentioned in the manual? -- though to be fair, I also initially thought my ASC button was broken until I saw comments in this forum back in 2008, and it was only then that I read the manual]
