And the more FUN way to find out is to:

1) Wait for a rainy day
2) Start the car
3) Approach a 90 degrees turn with say 40/50 km/h in second gear
4) Lift throttle, steer in hard
5) When it start to understeer / slide over the front wheels FULLY press the accelerator

- If you crash -> you didn't have tc, but needed it badly
- If you don't crash, cought the slide, have a big smile and turned around to do it again -> you didn't have tc, and you don't need it either
- If nothing happend and wonder what's all the fuss -> you have tc and need it
- If nothing happend and really are bored with this kind of handling -> you have tc but you actually don't need it. But hey, it can be turned of with the switch on the console ...
