The GS should be right around $34 depending how you equip it. I work for a Chev- Buick- GMC dealer and even the most decked turbos still arent hitting 35 k unless you go nuts on the wheel package, nav, and everything else, you gotta remember there are rebates and incentives that knock that sticker down a bit.

Bottom Line: I'm I'm pissing away 34-40k on a turbo car, I might as well just get the Subaru STI and call it a day.

Bottom Line: It's different.
More in depth, only cars I would really consider besides it are the Speed6 and the Lancer Sportback Ralliart, but that really doesn't have a manual transmission...Kind of wish the Suzuki Kizashi had a turbo, then I would consider one of those and it would probably be around $25k for more than 260hp. Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4 is another option, but they are so expensive and maintain a high resale so buying would be a while plus I'm sure maintenance isn't cheap being German. Saab 9-3x is almost $40k, and lastly the WRX...I wouldn't get an STI (mainly for insurance reasons)...but I'm probably staying away from the Subaru's due to the issues they're having.
I have a list of reasons, but you don't care to read it all...lol.

P and I test drove a Kizashi a few months back...car has no *****, LOL......as long as your fine with that the car is nice!
Unless something sweet hits the market like a Focus RS, Fiesta RS, Sonic SS, Cruze SS....if not, I'll most likely just keep my car and buy a under 20K 4 door daily driver.
