Just wondering what the majority of people have their VDC setting at most of the time.

 

Edit: I'm not trying to get called an idiot for having it off or a grandma for having it on. I don't want this thread to turn into an argument like others i've seen, I'm wanting to know something completely different. I should have been more clear.

I've heard that even when it's not "kicking in" that your engine can be less responsive and sporty and it losses power. Also I've heard that even when it's off, it's still there a little bit if you reeallyy need it. What do you guy's think?

 

No there is no power loss, or responsiveness with it off or on.

When you just push the button after about 5 sec it will kick in.

There was just a huge VDC thread like a week ago, use the search

 

 

There are dozens of VDC threads around - cover every aspect of VDC you'd want to know and even some you won't want to know.

 

Ok sorry I just couldn't find one addressing the power myth I heard..

 

^^ Are you saying that if you've turned it off that once you turn it back on it takes 5 seconds to actually come back on or what???

 

^Hahaha always have mine on.

 

vdc on baby

 

vdc on

 

Always on

Off when racing, which hasn't happened in like 6 months

 

Now there's another on Bob.... I always drive with my VDC on! Remember my now famous saying Bob, "SEARCH is your friend" no one else does! lmao

No, if you push the button and turn it off so that the light comes on, on the dash then its just delayed 5sec or so. With it "ON" no lights on the dash its instant.

 

I never turn it off.

 

What you're probably thinking of is the Yaw sensor under the center console that *can* still kick in when the VDC is off. It takes a good bit of effort to trip that sensor though, you'll probably not experience it, at least not often.

Personally, I keep mine off unless it's raining. I'm pretty comfortable with the car and know what it's going to do, and when VDC keeps it from doing what I expect I don't feel very good about it. Disclaimer to that though: don't drive like an ******* just to get the car get loose, be responsible, know where you are and what's going on around you at all times.
