Had a look at an Impreza hatch and the boot is just too small. Fine on depth and width, but just not enough height. I suspect the Golf will have the same problem, as mentioned above. I think an Impreza estate may be the next port of call.
Jesus man, if it's not tall enough let your dog duck down a bit? How far do you travel with it in the car?I have a 2 seater and the dog has to make do with the footwell in the car, or if she's lucky she can put 2 paws up on the wife's lap.

Vlad/All, you're missing the one great buy of the century within this price range...the Subaru Forester XT. Right price, perfect for rural living, tough as old nails, tremendous parts supply, very good interior and space, not the usual German/Euro' box, plenty of power from day one, if you're into upgrading it's simply endless, plus...get a set of winter tyres/spare set of wheels and very little will stop an XT.
It's time for tea...crazy Ruskey-style

The Forester is a great wagon. A bit on the large side, but perhaps worth a look.It's time for tea...crazy Ruskey-style

Yes but he asked for a hatchback
Still, the most apt answers are all the ones starting with Subaru...
Unfortunatly I don't now think there's a hatchback that will fit the bill. The rear diff reduces the boot height by too much.Still, the most apt answers are all the ones starting with Subaru...
PS have a chat with some of the FXT owners here www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f75/ ...and ask them why they drive Foresters...you'll be itching to buy a low mileage, FSH FXT in no time at all

A set of winter tyres will do a much better job than 4wd and will allow you not to have to run a 4wd the rest of the time. Win - win.
A set of winter tires on an AWD would obviously be the best option, but I suppose when one does not understand traction, comments like this are inevitable.You realise that you just did another projection, right there ?
Anyway, are you coming to the Ring ? Or do you stick to the internet ?
