Sport Button

Hello All,
I have had my 2013 s (manual) for only 3 months and I am looking for some input from more experienced owners. It's in the high teens to low 20's here in Ohio and today when driving my mini around town with the sport button active I did not get any popping or burbles in the downshifts. Is that temperature dependent? Thanks for any feedback/input folks.

Tom

I live in Ohio as well, Cincinnati area. I used my sport mode last night around midnight (was colder than 20) and I got the pop and burble. I don't think it's temperature dependent

The engine has to be fully warmed, and having nice hot headers doesn't hurt either

Too cold for the nitrous to feed into the cylinders when it's that cold out.
