Is it tyres or the car
#21
Getting into TracDSC takes deliberate effort: Hold the button down for five seconds, then push it twice more. It also needs to be reset every time. The car always comes up with DSC on regardless of other settings.

I don't think you can really compare the traction control system in the AWD variant to that of the RWD version. Not only do you have the TCS system kicking in, but you also have the car transferring power from the rear to the front to compensate as well. Its apple to oranges.
On the rwd car out of the same corner the car let the power come earlier and stronger and in such a way that you might need to hold back on the throttle - and the acceleration felt stronger.
With the traction control set to track-esc or turned off, I am sure it would be the other way arround. But for the cars I tested (same place, same day, same conditios) it was obvious that the awd R traction control interveined a lot earlier and was more intrusive than in the rwd R.
It might be apple to oranges, but it was never the less very easy to notice the difference, and something the professional instructors also mentioned. They made a comment that it might be a safety issue? Or that the 2016 models has been modified so that traction control is more intrusive (the awd was a 2016 and rhe rwd was a 2015 model).
