I’ve owned S2000 which had much shorter wheelbase and no traction or stability control. The main issue was in wet-wet conditions and especially with somewhat used tires. I never spun but had a few fishtail events like the first post except didn’t lose control, but got my attention and usually I’d drive like a granny in a Prius in those conditions.
With the BRZ main complaint is the traction control which can cut power on fast up shifts on broken roads maybe not pristine roads. It’s not bad but it’s not great, also I had one episode where I made a low speed sharp right in second gear too quick and instead of going into any oversteer it just killed the slip/engine power. It was kind of meh and I’d think that was too intrusive heavy handed but otherwise it’s been fine. I don’t really drive like a madman in the rain but I can feel it is a lot more composed than my S2000. I’m in a tS with the good tires so can’t say what it’s like on Primacy rubber although on test drives with used Primacy, I did notice more intervention even on dry pavements while taking a quick acceleration turn but could have been worn rubber as well as the tire compound. I’d strongly recommend sticky tires for the BRZ.
