I like the added safety that TC provides during my normal commute, but I also like the fact that Toyota/Subaru gave us the option to turn it off for the track/spirited drives.
Thing is, even with traction control, if you can't react to a sudden unpredictable scenario, you can have an accident even with TC by making a bad decision. TC isn't a fool proof plan as everyone in this thread is making it out to be.

I can and have gone all my life without relying on TC, and have not had an accident. It may increase my chances of avoiding an accident by 2% in some situations, but to me that 2% is just insignificant.
