There's a nice roundabout on the way to work which is really wide, well sighted, usually empty at 6:30am etc, so when it's wet I usually hit sport+ and manual shifting and have some sideways action when there's no-one around. Once the car gets to a certain angle you can feel the stability control kicking in and bringing it back into line.

It does sometimes prematurely end a nice drift, but I'm not brave/talented enough to want to risk it without stability control on in my own car on a public road...
