You guys know any?
Why do you want a factory turbo'd car? Just buy a car that's got a strong low end, maybe do a few internal mods and strap a T25 to it and a noisy blow-off valve.

I want a factory turbo car because adding one aftermarket is pricey as hell.

Fatbooty: The Mazdaspeed is really under powered imo and I could never drive the SRT-4, it's still a ****ing Neon.

So the 170 hp Mazdaspeed is "really under powered" compared to the 180 hp 1.8T?

You asked what other turbo cars there are with a lower price than the WRX. Those are the ones that answer your criteria.

Isn't the WRX in the same price range as a GTI 1.8T?

There aren't any. Assuming you want something that comes with a turbo from the factory and has a lower sticker than the WRX.

And don't discount the SRT-4 because of the "it's still a Neon" argument. Drive it before you knock it.

You can get a used GTi 1.8T for around 18G here in Ontario.
WRX is like 22G +

As for the SRT....we'll see.
