VDC - On or Off?

thx007 · 01-13-2006, 01:59 PM

In another thread, I was surprised at how many people are worried about turning off VDC and use it all the time. So, I thought a poll was in order...

As for me, VDC is turned off... I find it far too intrusive.

it hasn't rained here in at least a month. my vdc is only on if it's raining out. otherwise, the first thing i do after i start my car is turn it off.

off unless it rains or is icy.

since I live in Phoenix area there really is no use for it. I turn it off most of the time, I like wheelspin! And my car has the power to do it!

Always off with few exceptions even for rain.

Always on, unless I need a good launch.

Off most of the time, unless it is slippery out.

I got into the habit of durning it on immediatly after I turned the car on

than one day the streets where wet, and unknowingly I turned it off in the M45

I did a donut while making a left hand turn, luckily no one was on the street......always on for me, I am used to driving Bimmers and Lexus's it is not intrusive AT ALL

Im curious as to how VDC affects the car/driver with it ON for normal day to day driving?

I try not to let any drive be normal... need a story for every day!

But really, it wouldn't affect things most of the time for most drivers.

mainly off n im surprised so many keep it mainly On. only when imma run then it comes off or when in a real hurry... Ive received, not really earned ha, 3 citations but none in the G =)

err.. excuse my ignorance, but can't you only turn on the VDC once the ignition is off? At least this is what I was told at the dealership

G35MoneyPit · 01-14-2006, 08:56 PM

It's always on when you start the car, if you wan't it off you have to shut it off each time after you start it.
