Traction Control which is part of Electronic Stability Program (ESP) on the LX platform is amlost too good. Personally I have tripped ESP several times, in those cases ESP either applies brakes and/or pulling throttle. People go to great lenghts to try to disable it 100%
ESP helps keep the car going the correct direction, minimizing loss of control due to many factors including oversteering.
ESP is active all the time even if you push the ESP button to disable it. How many times are you going to get into trouble when driving under 30mph? On the flip side ESP can save you at higher speeds.
