If you get one with traction control you can't hardly let it get away from you. If you don't have it, it's like anything else, you have to be able t drive and know when to keep your foot in it and steer out of trouble. I've had both. I prefer to have traction control but my 3.6 Boxster has no nannies, other that anti lock brakes.
