Which hot hatch should we buy?

My wife's Nissan Micra SR Sport is seven years old with 50,000 miles on the clock and we are looking for replacement.

My wife likes the Alfa Romeo MiTo, but I'm a little concerned about reliability and depreciation. We would probably trade in the Nissan and have about £10,000 to spend on top. What do you suggest?

If you can stump up £16,995 get a Fiesta ST. That's the best small quick car there is.

Exceptional road handling. 1.6 Ecoboost engine has lots of eager shove. Practical and comfortable cabin. One of the best hot hatches money can buy.
