Congratulations! I have had my Turbo-S for 6-months now and love it. On most cars with a "Sport" or "Comfort" equivalent option (looking at you Mercedes) I never feel much difference. Hit the Sport button on The Turbo-S and its really noticeable... a whole different car!

My only downside is that rats found their way into my engine compartment and started snacking on the insulation under the hood :-(

Ouch, rats? And, have to agree. Hit that Sports and then Sports Plus button and the car goes into beast mode.

My biggest fear when putting it away this winter is the mice getting in and chewing on the wires - I'm in full eradicate mode to get the numbers down before winter arrives

Oh, and that is a very nice looking car.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

On the storage side, we have an RV and if you put Bounce dryer sheets around the vehicle in various places it keeps rodents away.

I love that color. I'm still impressed with mine every time I drive it. I'm glad I waited for the 'S' badge.

this is a relatively well known use for dryer sheets. many people lay them in the interior during storage, but certainly under the hood would work as well. very simple, inexpensive way to handle the situation.
congrats on the turboS!! nice advantage to the S is pdcc and ptv as standard.
i recently bought a '13 turbo and i'm enjoying it as much as everyone here. wonderful car!!

Turbo S is such a sick model, i dont see too many of them around here and the car enthusiasts know that the turbo s is a true beast

i wonder if its a big difference behind the wheel from a turbo to a turbo s

It’s more about the handling and suspension goodies than power that will set apart the S. If a turbo has the Powerkit and all the same option, there won’t be much difference behind the wheel - it basically is an S without the badge. Certainly there is something to just having the S, and they do pull harder up top.

Get a 12 gauge, see any mice on the car, blast'em away from both bores! Mice gone asap.
