It comes handy sometimes.Once I drove over a patch of sand on a private road (really was a private road), it was on a bend with WOT, in about a 2/7 of a second the car started going sideways and TC came to the rescue.Now if it was turned off by the time I would realize what happened I believe it would be too late to avoid running of the road.So since then I leave it on unless I WANT to play or race, in a manual it interrupts on the 1-2 and 2-3 change and in first gear.

A mild custom tune with an auto will have it activating at the most inconvenient times.I just hate having my car jump around like drunk Wallaby when I give it even a small boot up the ass with the TC on. Doesnt feel very safe to me. HERE HERE first thing I do when starting the XR is turn T/C off..Feels much safer when its off as the car is predictable not like a drunken wallaby..
