My thoughts on the VCS is that it is not too bad, yes the VSC is a little restrictive however its is also entertaining to head into corners a bit fast and have it track straight through the coner as if its on rails. Im sure theres another 10-20% past where the VSC limit is however if guess for every day driving its ok. its the TCS which is most restrictive and really detracts from the performance With the TCS its things like when you turn out of a T intersection and accellerate and the TCS kicks in and retards everything for second or so. And when you go over uneven surface and the front wheel comes off the ground ever so slightly, TCS kicks in and stops everything for another second. Instead of the TCS actually helping acelleration in low-traction scenarios, it just basically stops accelleration. My thoughts are this is in place to avoid any excessive load on the gearbox. Im sure with the TCS off every day I would have it in to Toyota for a warranty claim on the transmission. The thing I don't understand is the TCS is so restrictive however it does nothing for the axle tramp bouncing if you acellerate in the wet in a straight line. Other reasonably powered FWD cars Ive driven do not do this. Is it a design flaw?
