[QUOTE=markk]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

- A If you crash -> you didn't have tc, but needed it badly
- B 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
- C If nothing happend and wonder what's all the fuss -> you have tc and need it
- D 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 ...

Ha ha!!

had it on my 97 and basically was always on and loved it but on my S no TC and got scared on a couple of time but option B it is and i am still smilling!
