I agree that in the odd situation where it's totally unpredictable the DSC can save your bacon but to be honest how often does that really happen ? If the DSC is saving you on a regular basis you need to have a look at your driving.
I think it's good now that it's standard but I wouldn't have paid for it as an option and is it a must have on a cooper s I'm unconvinced.

Well DSC saved me when I hit ice this winter, corner look 100% ok, went in slowly, and still lost back end...DSC caught it and then I hit a grippy bit and was pointing in correct direction. I would not buy a car without DSC!

I agree about forward planning...but it is great when you you get caught out. I for one am glad it is standard now.
