Do you brake, accelerate, or coast through turns?

Misleading and a quite rediculous question. It depends on what road you're on, what grade the road is, if you're in traffic etc. Is this a question that relates to the race track?

My apologies for the lack of detail regarding the question. Under regular driving/commuting conditions. What is your drivng style when it comes to turns? I personally Like to accelerate through my turns as I feel more control and stablilty of my car.

I try to brake beforehand, coast in, and accelerate out.

If your definition of stability is based on available traction, acceleration will not increase stability.

For the most part, this.

When I drive I tend to see how little I can use my brake. I tend to just coast through turns, but if it's late at night I like to see what I can get away with. My car surprises me sometimes...

On avg. I drive it like I'm on the track, break last second, as soon as I can get on the throttle with out missing my apex (center line) I mash it!
