The '89 900S has 128hp and the '89 turbo has 160hp (25% more power). I own both of these cars. The 900S does just fine even in the Sierra Nevada Mountains where I live. The turbo car has noticably more power, but it is not that much different in real life situations. I've driven them side by side with a friend. The S is actually quicker off from a stop, but the turbo catches it in short order. The S gets a little better gas mileage (25 vs 22 around town). The turbo has a nicer exhaust note, but it is harder to have a conversation in it at highway speeds. The turbo car is harder to work on, though the turbo system itself is quite reliable.
