Off when I'm having "fun".

If I get into my car and remember to turn it off, I usually do. But most of the time I just get in my car and drive.

My moms coblat has traction control. She got stuck in the snow, and it would only spin for a second. If the traction control had been turned off, then she could have got out easily. Sometimes spinning in the snow isnt always bad

Ive seen a few posts on here about VSA affecting the fuel mileage. Any truth to this? Or is it just all bullshit?

If so, hows it affect it, what causes it to make it gain / lose mileage?

I was under the impression it only activates under traction loss. How would that affect gas mileage?

I don't believe 3 and 4 are mutually exclusive.


I turn mine off during the dry season, but leave it on during the winter.

IMO.....VSA should be an option....not a standard feature. I wouldn't want to pay a grand more for something I will most likely never need.
