I recently purchased a '06 350Z Roadster with an automatic transmission. It has a TCS (Traction Control System). Should I drive with the TCS on or off? I also see that some cars came with a "VDC", does anyone know the difference? Thanks in advance.

TCS is just traction control, VDC is TCS plus yaw control (i.e, it will attempt to stop an impending spin). Both work pretty well, the VDC on a '15 Altima definitely saved my life one night when I was forced into the grass median by a big rig. Unless you're doing donuts or smokin' it up on a skidpad, drive with them on.
