Hot hatch for ~£3k?

[mcguinness1]

I have around a £2k budget to spend on a car, would preferably like a hot hatch. Looked at the standard choice of a Clio 182 but can't really come up with any ideas for anything else.

Looking for suggestions from PHers!

Focus ST170?

Puegeot 206 GTI 180 falls nicely in to your budget.

They are a fairly quick hot hatch and have a better seating position that the Clio 172/182 I have had before.

Would probably get a Leon Cupra R for that these days.

MG ZS180. Build quality is not the best, but every drive is an event with that engine.

Civic type r or the lukewarm type s. both very very reliable.
