I can feel my car hesitate at almost every corner I come out of with MDM on. And I consider myself a fairly smooth driver (of course there's always room for improvement). When I was at Skip Barber, the instructors also made it very clear that driving with any traction control aid will slow a good driver down. The only place traction control helps me go faster is in the rain, but I run rainy days with DSC off as well because I just don't want to get used to relying on it.
