Ok...so you're looking for a small-ish hatchback fwd vehicle sold in Canada...sounds like your choices are, Golf, Civic, Focus, Mazda 3...and...um....that's about it I think. For 11,000 Canadian I guess I'd say go for the Golf 1.8T, but be careful about the turbo, they have been known to go bad and they are a rather expensive thing to replace. As for the other two, the Focus is a pretty decent car, though the interior build quality isn't up to VW standards...it is a more involving car to drive though, as is the Mazda 3, but the 3 is probably out of your price range seeing as it's pretty much a brand-spanking new car. The Civic is pretty reliable, reasonably fuel efficient, and a reasonably good drive, not so good as the Focus, but not quite as uninvolving as the Golf. I'm guessing from the fact that you're looking for a new VW to replace your old one because you like VW's though, so I guess my recommendation would be to go for the VW, as it'll probably make you feel the best.
