Popular Cars
Vauxhall Corsa
The Vauxhall Corsa is a spacious and affordable car with plenty of standard features. However, its infotainment system is difficult to use and its handling is not as good as some of its rivals. The best version of the Corsa is the SRi with the most powerful 1.0-liter petrol engine.
Volkswagen Polo
The outgoing Volkswagen Polo is still one of the best-selling cars in Canada. Volkswagen has had to work hard to improve it, and the results are impressive. The Polo's build quality, space, image, and drive all add up to one of the best all-round hatchbacks on sale. Its replacement is even more like the bigger Volkswagen Golf, so it is sure to be a big seller.
Volkswagen Golf
Golf is a popular car for a reason. It offers a comfortable ride, class-leading refinement, and a spacious and classy interior. It may be a bit more expensive than some rivals, and its boot isn't the biggest, but it's a superb car in every other respect.
Mercedes C Class
The Mercedes C-Class is a comfortable executive sedan that prioritizes comfort over performance or agility. It's not as fun to drive as the BMW 3 Series, and its interior isn't as luxurious as the Audi A4, but with the right configuration, it can be a capable and enjoyable car.
Mercedes A Class
The Mercedes A-Class is a popular car in Canada, and its success is due in part to its appeal to fleet and business buyers. The new model, which is due to be released soon, is expected to be even better than the current one.
Ford Fiesta
The Ford Fiesta has long been a popular car in Canada, and the latest model is no exception. It's still great fun to drive, with punchy, quiet, and frugal Ecoboost petrol engines. However, the new model also feels more modern inside, with a much better infotainment system.
Mini Hatchback
The Mini is a popular car for a reason. It has funky looks, a much-improved interior, and is one of the best-driving cars around. These factors have helped make the latest Mini a serious contender for one of the best hatchbacks on the market.
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus is a popular family hatchback, but it's not the only one on the market. Some rivals offer more space and a more luxurious interior, while others are more fun to drive. The 1.0-liter Ecoboost petrol engine is a good choice for city driving, while the 1.5-liter diesel engine is better suited for long-distance journeys.
Nissan Qashqai
The Nissan Qashqai is the car that popularized the small, family-friendly SUV segment, and it remains one of the best in its class after a recent update. While there are cheaper alternatives available, such as the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross, the Qashqai makes up for its price premium with a spacious and well-designed interior, solid build quality, and superb comfort and refinement.
