I do not have traction control or PSM on my 2000 Boxster S.
In the summer I prefer it, because it feels more fun to drive. Slower around the autocross track most likely (though their early TC slows you down, from what I've heard), but it's good for giving you a true feel of the car's limits.
In the winter I really wish I had it, because I definitely need winter tires. I've been running Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires that are supposed to be decent, but it's a real struggle sometimes to even get moving - especially if you're on a hill. Starting in 3rd gear solves the issue entirely, but then you get to deal with the touchy clutch and additional wear.
