I know its meant as a driver aid but is it actually usefull, does it sap power at all?
Im not exactly a boy racer but i do like a "spirited" drive now and again

How do you drive yours, ie on or off?

But given the choice would you still drive with it off?

Don't have it, Don't need it.
When i DID have it I had it switched on unless i was on the way to get new front tyres then i had some smokey fun.

Be careful on wet roundabouts.

Going into and around them is fine, but power out of a wet corner with the load over the outside wheel and the inside tyre will spin up very very easily. V6 calibras are known for trying to go in a straight line when cornering fast/tight (on std suspension that is)

ive got adjustable konis and lowering springs

Stiff shocks can be worse in the wet.
I'd personally leave it switched on, unless you want to destroy your tyres.

ok, on in the wet off in the dry. but seeing as its wet 99% of the time in this country i might as well leave it permanently on

Just leave it on all the time.
