Analysis
The Soul Turbo is the one to have: 201 horsepower from the 1.6T, a 7-speed dual-clutch, and the full GT-Line treatment, in a box that still swallows a weekend’s worth of gear. This 2021 example wears gray paint with the red Turbo accents and rolls on the factory alloys, photographed as the actual car on the lot.
Ask is $14,810 at 101,322 miles. Turbo comps: $13,995 for a 105,884-mile GT-Line Turbo, $14,998 for a 116k-mile car at CarMax, and $11,799 for a 120k-mile car with a minor accident. This one sits in the middle of that band with the lowest miles of the set, and Edmunds pegs clean dealer retail for the trim near $16,800.
The DCT is the only real watch item on these; a pre-purchase drive that hunts for shudder at low speed answers it. At this price with these miles, it’s fairly bought.
