    I just bought a 2012 as my ‘new’ vehicle because I don’t want to deal with any stupid tech issues like that

    hell, I don’t even like standard traction control - if I press the accelerator, I want the wheels to get power. I’ve been stuck slowly crossing in the middle of an intersection too many times because ESC ‘helped out’ and cut power to the wheels. no mf just spin them until they get to the hard surface below the snowslush

      This was worse. It had lane detection so every once in a while I could feel it jerk the wheel even though I was solidly in my lane. The only advanced feature I didn’t mind was the proximity warning when I wanted to change lanes. It was pretty clear there was a car there but I didn’t mind the heads up.
