Agreed. It's also much harder to sense slip with these drive by wire throttles, especially when paired with an automatic. The easiest vehicle I have driven in the snow was my 4 cylinder YJ because you could feel everything single thing that it was doing through the steering wheel and throttle.

I've been switching it on and off and when I feel like being more carefree/lazy I do enjoy the TCS.

 

Which supports my theory that most people can't drive. Personally I like to put it as close to completely sideways around corners as I can when there is noone around, if there are other people around I am tame but for me most of the ENJOYMENT in driving is the actual DRIVING.
