It depends. If you're looking for a fast manual 2 door at the used price range, it has to be the Megane. As a serious hot hatch, it is almost unmatched by any other, power, grip, seating position. But you need to like the French quirks that come with it. Practicality wise, there's really nothing good to say. But still very fast, special and an enjoyable package nevertheless. Highly recommended for serious enthusiasts.
I've owned the clio rs edc for a couple of years. Superb small 4 door hot hatch, good looking. It is a bit small if you're okay with that. 200hp 1.6t is nice and more than decent. A bit laggy from idle but good response thereafter. With a flash, it'll even match the RS250 up to 4th gear. DCT is entertaining, quick enough and never had an issue with it. As a fast daily yes, but it still is a baby hot hatch so limits are reached more easily.
