Best Hot Hatch 1k?

[JT361]

So pretty much as the title says.

I need a daily after my last one broke horribly, would like something fun to drive (a diesel 306 made me want to die inside)

Truth be told I miss my hot hatches but only have a small budget.

What would people recommend?

Thanks in advance

I'd love a 106 rallye/XSi but they're all out of budget it seems

It's also difficult to find a non-rust bucket Puma local!

I'll start looking at MG's and Ignis Sport's now, can only seem to find ropey Clio's for under 1k unfortunately
