Best value baseline trim on the market

Was in the market for a lightly used hatchback. I had test-driven a Mazda 3 hatch prior to test-driving the Golf and I was immediately floored by all the extras that come standard in the latter compared to the former: heated seats, power seats, android auto, excellent dash console (touch and tactile controls are well-balanced), heated mirrors... the list goes on. More powerful engine than its peers and gets the advertised mileage (7-8 litres/100km in the city). If I were to be really picky, there is a slight lag when putting on the gas (I'm told this is due to the turbo), and there's no block heater (though I'm also told it isn't necessary - even in Winnipeg!)

1.8 Golf

It's good car. I like it. If the engine was 3.5 or bigger it should be even better. Before Golf I was driving Jetta and it was zero problems as well.
