Luckily, there's one right by my office, and one about 5min from my house. Those are the only two in my area. I think I'm gonna give it a go for a couple months to see if it's a hassle.

Honestly didn't hit it that hard. I think the worst I did to it was break a leg and maybe hip. I didn't stop to check on it.

I just got off the phone with my insurance. Animals are comprehensive claims. My premium will not go up and my deductible is only $100. I'm a firm believer that autocross and HPDE driving makes you a...

Good point. There's a shop near me who did a buddy's white pearl Acura pretty well. I'll start there and get a few other quotes.

I hear that white pearl is extremely hard to match. My car is less than a year old, so I was thinking a Subaru painted piece would match the best. I could be wrong though. Just my thinking.

So I hit a deer the night before leaving on vacation. I was cruising down a Louisiana back road on my way home from work and a deer decided to run out right in front of me. I got on the brakes hard...

Thanks for all of the replies. I was mostly curious if the behavior of the traction control was normal. It seems that it is and I'm just not accustomed to it. I'll just have to remember to turn it...

I guess I'm just not used to it. In my civic if I needed to accel hard I could slam the throttle and the TC would limit wheel spin, but I didn't have to lift. I could keep my foot down and TC only...

I am still on stock tires, but I don't see how changing them will effect the TC. If I spin the tires on any tire the TC will still engage. The only thing new tires will help is making it harder to...

I never said it was kicking in at the wrong time. You and others have said this. I know exactly why it's kicking in. Loose gravel, wet roads, hard shifting into 2nd. It only kicks in when my tires...

I drive a little aggressive sometimes. I admit it. I'm not coming to a complete stop, but the car is slowing down A LOT. TC is completely cutting off throttle. It feels like you press your pedal to...

When accelerating in a straight line the reaction from TC is the same in VSC Sport.



I'll give an example. I was pulling out of a parking lot the other day, and right as I entered the highway,...

Does anybody else find the traction control to be too harsh?

I got my 2016 BRZ 2 weeks ago. My previous car was an 08 Honda Civic Si. After driving the BRZ for 2 weeks I've found that I absolutely loath the traction control. In my civic, if the traction...

Bought a 2016 Crystal White Pearl yesterday. Finally had a great deal come along and pulled the trigger on it. Can't wait to drive the hell out of this car.
