As for the fitting as standard and adding me £350 to the price of the car I'd rather have the choice !
If your happy with DSC and think you need it fitted then your probably better of with it. I'm not saying it's a bad system far from it, just offering a balanced opinion as to wether or not it actually needs it ?

Another way to look at it is that it is better that all cars have it as it will save all the non- "good drivers", like myself , that can't see what is going to happen round each corner, and can't tell what corners will have ice, diesel etc.. and it saves me hitting good drivers like yourself that can tell everything.

By the word the "unexpected " bit in unexpected emergency generally tells you when people need it..
