Worse: hit the gas when half the tires are on ice and you will instantly be pointed a different direction! That direction will be either into oncoming traffic or the nearest curb/light pole.

I would definitely not drive any pre x-drive car without DSC in snow/ice. Absolutely life threatening.

I agree, theres no reason to turn off DSC unless you're having fun in an unplowed, empty parking lot.



Also, I dont think any pre Xdrive cars had any limited slip diffs. So there's nothing to wear out there. The torque bias should remain the same even on high mileage cars.
