When driving in "non-hoonigan mode" she handles very well and quite predictably. I would almost say the predictable part is more important than handling well, just so that you can expect what the car will do in most situations.
When driving in "hoonigan mode" with traction control off is another story. Since it isn't a "full defeat" of the ESC system, the predictability is not there like I wish it was. For example, upon hoonigan acceleration, you feel "in control" while being out of control, but when you lift off the throttle and your wheels are still free spinning, the ESC doesn't like that, so it kicks in trying to get you back "in control". That's the part that makes it not AS fun as I wish it was in the snow.
Wish there was a way to somehow turn it off without killing the ABS through Forscan.
