I was thinking about asking the dealer, but until someone does this 3rd party I don't think we will see anything

Safety feature is highly debatable...I do wish there was a way to disable it although not permanently |

It's not debatable, it's your opinion. Stability control, vdc, abs, airbags, etc have all been PROVEN to be safer than without them.

Only proven because the quality of drivers/driving instruction has decreased and these "systems" are now "needed". Just look at the amount of people who have no idea how to operate high beams as an example If we changed our licensing requirements to require a retest every time you renew, a lot of this crap wouldn't be needed. I highly think we should, but the general public would throw a fit and only because they shouldn't be operating vehicle anyway |

In the hands of a completely incompetent moron maybe. In the hands of a relatively experienced driver it is debatable. Unfortunately most drivers fall into the category of not giving one single f**ck about how to drive properly, hence manufacturers tendency to pull this kind of crap on us.

I had been made to understand it only took effect when the car reached extreme angles if the trac-control switch was pressed. This is not true, it takes effect immediately. I can't really think of any car in it's price range where it can be turned off other than the Fiat 500 Abarth edition. Hence my distaste of newer cars (performance models notwithstanding). Too many computers and driver aids...

I found a way to disable VDC/ABS/TC on the Crosstrek and posted it here. It leaves the steering intact and the speedo/trip computer keeps working. No throttle cut at 4 grand. It does kill cruise control though.
http://www.subaruxvforum.com/forum/s...uestion-3.html It might be the same for the impreza. I have the manual, it's supposed to work for the CVT also. Off road use only disclaimer applies. |

Awesome!
Now to wire up a switch to disable the fuse rather than pull it every time |

If people still think the VDC button doesn't work they're drunk.
Go on a patch of snow or ice (or this time of year, very loose gravel) and smash your foot to the floor with VDC on then off, notice a difference? You sure do! |

That's because even though the owners manual calls it a vdc switch, it's actually a traction control switch.

Well what the **** do you want them to do? Install a button that turns of ABS, traction control, stability control, airbags, and **** why not the engine itself?
