Curious as to how many ppl utilize DSC and thos who don't. If you don't, would you be kind of enough to post why.
Besides, I've never posted a poll before and it's not really that exciting either.....:o

Personally I leave it on during my day to day driving, sicne you never know when it might be needed. I only turn it off when I am specifically in the mood to have some fun with the car.

Just my opinion, but having the DSC off all the time is ludacris. Why? Nobody is racing their car all the time on street applications. It is there for safety.
I think DSC/VDC or wahtever it is called other vehicles, is one of the best inventions to be placed in cars since air bags.
I also believe that in years to come, when and if, all cars have this feature, accidents will decrease because of it.

I'm another member of the "only turn it off when explicitly wanting to have some fun" camp.

I bought the GT package for its safety features. Curtain airbags and DSC were the #1 selling points to me.
To those who only turn it on on unsafe conditions (rain, snow):
The trick about unsafe conditions is that they may come unexpected. I've had to slam the brakes and make an emergency steering-wheel-turn to the left twice so far, each time the DSC sweetly pulled me straight. Nice!
In 4 months I've driven maybe 30 minutes w/ DSC off, just to see the difference. My conclusion: For driving on public roads, it's a great feature. Always on.
