I’ve still not got around to driving mine. Should have probably delayed it till after Xmas instead of collecting it. I’m going to be using it shortly though as a daily so will vote then.

I've had the back end step out at 50+ on a greasy roundabout. The stability control kicked in jabbed the brake which straightened the car up and off I went. So for those wondering, yes the car will save your ass

It's ment to be tail happy and definitely is!

I've tested the traction control limits safely a few times and I'm surprised how liberal it is even when fully on, in my opinion it is not the full safety net as on other cars, and this is good!

Glad it's not just me and bad habits from the Yaris then !

Looking forward to actually getting out in the dry and warm (+7C!) at some point...

Hate to say it, but it will catch someone out. I shouldn't of said it. Now I've jinxed it for someone, probably me.

Totally. Its one of the reasons I decided against PPFing my car... Pretty much guaranteeing I'd bin it into a hedge after spending that kind of money to avoid stone chips
