It's been really icy here lately, so my traction control has been making a lot of noise. Just how good is the traction control? How does it compare to systems offered by other manufacturers?

I turn mine off in ice and snow. I can control the car better with it off.

I have mine off all the time. took out the ABS sensor. I hate traction control. I know how to drive i don't need training wheels in the snow.

When your tires start to spin you will see a little picture of a car with squiggly lines behind it, that is the traction control kicking in.

If you start to slide sideways, you will then hear beeping, that is the stability control attempting to regain control.

In both of these instances if listen real closely you will hear the anti-lock brakes being used.
