Best Hatchback for a new driver? - 2

I would really appreciate some heIp! I'm 18 and am looking to get a hatchback/hot-hatch. I would like it to be chap tp ensure and run, but also have a little bit of a fun/fast factor in it sense i love driving.
I'm currently looking at these:

Ford Fiesta (st or not?)
Ford Focus (st or not?)
VW GTD
VW GTi
Bmw 118i
Renault Clio

Feel free to pitch in any others that you think are better, Or any that are FWD because I would rather heve that. I would really appreciate some help on this as I said!

Audi A3. I love mine. Really good car.

I think the ford Focus is really pretty neat now. The first design, the rounded top, really was a rocket, with the 5 spd tranny. They've smoothed the lines, to make it look faster, and I'm sure it's still quite the little speedster.
I suggest the Ford because it's american, and you can find a dealer on almost every other corner, so you won't have trouble getting it worked on or fixed. Much cheaper in long run.
