Which 4 cylinder Would you select based on best value?

Hi;

If I was considering the following three 4-cylinder cars, each with its own best value, which one would you pick as the best valued car.

Camaro 2016 Tubo 2.0
Best value: Alpha Platform

Mustang 2016 Turbo 2.3
Best value: More power

Subaru WRX Turbo 2.0
Bast value: AWD

All 3 have similar price point, but which offers best value/
Thanks!

Turbo 2.0 Ecotecs have a massive aftermarket support system from the days of Turbo Cobalts, Saturn Sky's and Pontiac Soltice GXP's and can reliably make tons of power.

Camaro 2.0 Turbo for sure.

honestly, if I was in the market for a turbo 4 it wouldn't be the Camaro. The WRX or Focus ST would get my money. I'm just not interested in a car like this one with a 4 cylinder in it.

Given it looks like the 1/4 mile time is comparable between the Camaro and Mustang, and the Mustang performed very poorly in the recent fast laps at VIR, I would wait until there is more information on the Camaro to see how well rounded it really is.

To me the Subaru is just a different car. If I wanted something like that I would probably be looking at the STI and cross shopping it with the VW GTI or Focus RS. That just me.

Focus RS is 36k while the WRX is 27ish. An updated STi engine STi I'd take over the RS.

Great feedback guys

I kind of agree that for 4, I should be looking at the WRX/STi, GTi, Focus, than Mustang and Camaro.

I think Camaro and Mustan shine in the V8 category.

The Focus RS with all the markup, it will be in the $40K, outside of my rang. The Focus ST and VW GTI are unfortunately FWD. So, seems like my real choice is WRX in $27K range.

I think Camaro four will be nice, just not sure I could buy,a 4 cylinder in this segment.

I'd personally look at the WRX.

I guess it really depends on what you want and I'm not sure if the WRX should be in your comparisons against the mustang / camaro. If you want a RWD sports coupe, then the mustang or camaro. If you're looking for more utility, then definitely consider the WRX (AWD! 4 doors!) or GTI. The focus RS is pretty freakin' sweet though... but at that price you could get a V8.

In that group, Camaro, unless you want to drive in the winter or want/need a backseat. Then WRX makes a good choice.

I'm sorry but this is a new age, and some of you need to get past the fact that there is a four cylinder camaro. The LTG has a huge aftermarket support for the ecotec platform to begin with. Just look at ZZPerformance. They are spear heading ecotec aftermarket developement, and been the leader in that platform for over a decade. Here is some of there most notable parts. http://www.xvideos.com/video9324211/...joven_follando . Here is another article where they are working on all their stage kits. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2014/07/...-cadillac-ats/ . So the turbo four is a great platform, and I am looking forward to my purchase.

ZZP has done significant upgrades to my Sonic and they are definitely turbo oriented.
