We have the same car. It works well for the average driver, but it seems like the traction ECU (or the hardware itself) takes too much time to switch torque between the two wheels for me, personally.

But for me, I disable it, use a higher gear on the auto-manual selector, and feather the throttle. I'm not a big fan of traction control thus far, but it sounds like the Focus has a superior design to what exists.

I look forward to renting a new Focus (I keep getting the Fusion, which is an excellent mid-sized sedan -- probably my favorite fleet vehicles right now).
