My BRZ isn't used as a daily driver and I never commute to work in it, the car (my Miata) I usually commute in is RWD with no stability control, traction control, or ABS. When I drive the BRZ I'm out to have fun on the roads, or I'm driving it somewhere (autocross) to have fun, but I don't take unnecessary chances or put anyone elses life in danger. If the roads are dry every thing gets turned off as soon as I remember to do it, if the roads are wet, I leave traction and stability control on.

Been driving for 26 years, owned 20+ cars (about half RWD), been autocrossing for 13 years, this is my first car with stability control, and only my 3rd car with any sort of traction control. If I had my choice I'd prefer to be able to buy a new car with no traction control, stability control, airbags, TPMS, and ABS would be user-defeatable with a switch.
