In my 17 I just leave everything on 99.9 % of the time. I've got studded tires so I don't *want* wheel spin most of the time. The only exceptions are a handful of times during winter where the depth and thickness of a snowfall makes wheel spin mandatory to keep moving. Yesterday was one of those days, stopping in place meant staying there, and a stupid pedestrian was standing behind me when I was backing out of an impracticable street and had to stop. It took my recovery boards to get out and once out, traction control was keeping me from gathering momentum driving out, so I had to turn it off.

That's about it for needing to turn it off. Your needs might differ, like if you want to merge on the highway doing a drift, then yeah, it'll be "intrusive"
