It is a "characteristic" of the car. The DSC does not need looking at. Even my wife's little VW Polo that had less power did it.
You will notice it tends to happen when the front wheels are turned slightly at an angle, more so when entering traffic on a roundabout, and also it manifests itself under damp road conditions especially on smooth tarmac surfaces.
Precisely my sentiments too. Couldn't have put it more succinctly and especially as regards (not) fiddling with the DSC.
