I've had wheelspin out of mine, especially on the snow, with no cutting of power. I've also had the odd understeery moment. The DTSC has saved my bacon a couple of times when hitting flood water around blind bends at speed etc, the light blinks, the car shimmies but you keep going in the intened direction.

I think that it set at quite a high threshold so that you can manipulate the way you want a car to get through the bend. TBH I prefer it this way rather than having a car that nannies to the extent that it is smothering the driving experience.
