What's the best hot hatch?

I am finally looking to replace my cherished Renault Clio 182. I have up to £20,000 to spend and want another hot hatch that will handle great and perform like a little sports car. Can you recommend three cars?

A Ford Fiesta ST, a Ford Fiesta ST, or a Ford Fiesta ST. Simple as that.
