Need a reliable turbo car, opinions please!

[pop]

I'd like to buy a factory-tuned force inducted car. Although I really do love Honda, I wish they slipped away from N/A for a bit and built a turbo-charged car! I don't want to turbo a Honda.

If you can, please don't flame me for wanting a car other than a Honda! I'd just like to know your opinions on what I should choose (although in the end it comes down to my own personal preference, I know).

The basic thoughts are:

WRX (STi; if affordable)
Skyline R34
200SX S15 (or Silvia)

However, my budget is $20,000 and below. So it will be hard finding one of those cars for my budget.

Please give me some recommendations on a good, reliable turbocharged car!

just a thought?

[tRipitaka]

if you get those cars that u've stated under $20,000.. i doubt that they'd be reliable..

how about the cars mrwillz has stated

[pop]

Are they reliable though? That is my main concern. I don't know much about any of them.

I think the S14s are kinda ugly (at the rear) and the R33's are too common.

What is it that gives the WRX it's sexy rumble? Surely not the Fujitsubo exhaust?

[tRipitaka]

boxer engine methinks

i think youd be better off going and doing your research on these vehicles in there relative forums...

I knew that much, but not all WRX's I've come across has the deep rumbly note?

I used to think they had 'Boxster' engines...

the irony of reliable and turbo in the same sentence....or should I say oxymoron

[JDM.Power]

wrx = gearbox problem
gtr = you want to mod it which will lead to turbo, upgrade clutch and heaps more
s15 = vvt problem, you would also want to mod that and go drifting

[pop]

reliable and turbo don't fit in the same sentence

How I wish this weren't all true!

Get a stock WRX, that is owned by an older female owner. They exist, but they are usually the hatch/wagon style.
