Needed to drive quite hard yesterday to meet deadlines - pedal to the metal (we've all been there at some point).

Despite traction control ON and very dry road conditions, got a lot of wheel spin when accelerating away from standstill. Checked tyres this morning - they're fine. Question: Is it simply that the traction control unit is unable to cope with the CX-3's torquey power?

Mind you I'm not complaining - I'll see if I can get wheel spin in 2nd tomorrow! (sarc). :D

Try it with the TC switched off and see if it's any different.
