New Turbo S question

Hi all, with the help of many of you I bought my Turbo S(GT Silver-black) yesterday and drove down from Northern California.What an awesome drive.I will post pictures soon.I do have one question if someone can help.While driving the fog lights seem to be day-time running fog lights.Is there a way to shut those off.Thanks

I don't know if you can shut them off, but that's how the facelift daytime driving lights look like.

There is a setting in the On Board Computer (the display is the one at the bottom of the tach) for "Lights" that lets you turn on or off the Daytime Running Lights.

Hi Ted, absolutely wonderful.I drove about 350 miles yesterday and enjoyed every second.The only thing I hope I did not screw up on was I got comfort seats with ventilation.I was thinking they were going to be the sport seats but they are very comfortable.Plus I will never track this car anyway...

Great! You'll be fine with Comfort's. Actually a lot of people prefer these because of ventilation and comfort (not necessarily the small number of people on this forum). In fact, if you're larger/wider in frame like I am, the Adaptive's can get a bit restrictive for DD use. These won't hurt you a bit in resale. In fact they may help you. Did you get Paddles?

Yes I did get paddles...I had the 07 turbo and to me this car just is smoother.I have not jumped on it yet so can't really compare power difference yet.
