The more powerful 1.6-liter turbo-four engine available in the GT trim is suitable for those looking for an adrenaline-pumping performance. GT models use a seven-speed dual-clutch or six-speed manual transmission to send 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque to a front-wheel-drive configuration. The GT manual is excellent if you want a more engaging driving experience without minding a slight drop in fuel economy.
