+1. The Torsen differential does cause some friction going through corners, more so than a conventional diff would.
ABS, stability control and the like can deal with loss of traction in a controlled way.
But my Insight does have a way to switch VSC off to free itself when locked in snow or something. I thought the system would help, not hurt, in such situations, but apparently not.
Using winter tires I never had to do switch it off, not even in 10 inches of snow.
