Here's my question, and I'm not sure if it's been answered yet. Honda gives you the option of turning the VSA on or off. What would be the reason(s) for ever turning it off? Under what circumstances would I turn off the VSA, and why? Thanks!

 

Track/spirited driving. Sometimes it is a nuisance in snow, too.

 

If you were trying to get the car unstuck from deep snow or trying to climb a hill with black ice, the VSA & Traction Control would conspire to keep you stuck. Sometimes you need to switch it off and allow some wheel spin to get out of the muck.

Also, if you ever decide to autocross the car, the stability control shoudl be switched off, lest it cut power and apply brakes while you're blasting through the cones.

 

Gets turned off in gravel, snow or when the Spare tire is applied.

 

I had to turn it off when i got stuck in the snow... had to spin the wheels a bit...
