"Unwanted wheelspin is kept under control by traction control, which can also be shut off with a dash-mounted button"


Uh, where is this button?

I wonder if that's the blank spot next to the dimmer switch in my car..? I don't see any other place to put it.

The EVOs have something there, but I couldn't tell what it was when I looked in the window of one at the dealer.

There is a spot on the left of the steering wheel down low where it may have once been. I don't think its a big deal. Other cars that have traction control will sometimes have an off button but the traction control will only come on automaticaly when the car slips and then you hit the button to turn it back off. This is how my dads 300M is.

It's really not a 'rave review' as much as it is a rehashed press release from Mitsu themselves. Not much opinion going on in this piece.

But, it is nice to see it get some more good press.
