I wouldn't get too hung up on the traction control system. I am a rear wheel drive novice and took my time getting to know the characteristics of the car and building speed up slowly. When you wanted to have a bit of fun the traction control would cut power so all that happened was you were left underwhelmed and any intuitive corrections were nullified by the system. I suppose it does give a safety net in bad conditions, but in the first six months of owning the car during winter here in Scotland, I drove according to the conditions and it almost never cut in

If I don't end up in a ditch - thank you.

 

Glad to be of assistance
