Saved my *** many times. I turn it off on occasion, weather permitting. Not that big of a difference to risk having it off.

I agree,

I only turn it off to get a fast start for auto X

I hate it personally. I feel like its hindering my efforts to correct whatever the car may be doing. I dont want a computer deciding how my car is going to react to something. If im just regular driving in dry weather ill leave it on but if its wet or snowing turning it off is hte first thing I do

I have never had it. I intentionally bought a base model to avoid having DSC/TC, and in the 77K miles that I have driven the car, the back has only gone out of control once on wet oily asphalt patch. I was able to get the car back under control with standard driving techniques. I don't miss it.
