ABS: like it for hard driving, hate it in snow, would rather have it than not have it
TRACTION CONTROL: I hate it everywhere, especially when its non-defeatable on a fwd car in the snow. Ho-lee-ish do I hate it
STABILITY CONTROL: I like it as long as its defeatable. It is simple and it works, compare wheel speed data, brake the front outside wheel when theres oversteer. Basic systems (cars that only have stability control because its a govt mandate) dont appear to have any anti-understeer control, only anti-oversteer.
BMW DSC is quite a lot better/less intrusive/smooth when it does compared to all other systems ive experienced
Overall I just wish drivers-ed programs exposed people to the threshold of grip in different vehicles and scenarios. I think that knowledge would go further to help prevent accidents rather than having the cars' systems go into damage control mode when the driver asks for more than conditions are willing to give
