I dont agree - VDC is all well and good but you can still fvck yourself up with it on... for instance: lets say you go into a turn wayyy too hot (or its raining and you forgot)... VDC kicks in and causes you to instantly understeer - BOOM you just hit the side rail...

All im saying is.. understand the car... understand the feature... and use it wisely... I would recommend ppl who can drive w/ it on but never see the car losing traction to try it off on familiar turns.. its hard to track your car every week
it's raining

and you forgot it was raining

you also forgot you drive a powerful rwd car

you also forgot your foot operates a pedal that increases forward acceleration

i'm pretty sure having vdc off would save you there, yeah

yeah i found this whole "friend turned it off" excuse absolutely hilarious, esp since the vdc always defaults back on whenever the engine is restarted. got caught with their pants down
