What's a patrician hatchback for DD? I want something relatively fun, reasonably fast, well-handling, and relatively fuel efficient. I've been looking at VW Golfs, Ford Foci and Mazda 3s. With manual transmission, of course.

Golf/GTI mk5. 2009 is the best year, as they put the new engine in before going to mk6. 2009 had both 2 and 4 door variants in manual and auto, so you should be able to find one around for not too much. Going to mk6 you will see a considerable price increase, for slightly newer bodykit and not much else.

any specific budget?

i'll provide a few general brackets for you in the meantime until you answer

mazda3 (first gen)

OH SHIT NIGGER WHAT ARE YOU DOING
>20k

mazdaspeed3 for reliability
bmw m coupe for rwd

>30k

>40k

focus rs or golf r

Civic si hatch.

Ep3 (2002-2005) is the affordable one to keep an eye out for and can be had for like 5k-7k and is smaller than a fit while being faster and having a much better interior.

You can go way faster in the 90s hatches with a few simple mods but they're more likely to be trashed or rice taxed and also stolen.

a. A woman,
b. A faggot, or
c. A numale?
If none of the above then you should not drive a hatchback

The definitive list
+1 on the focus RS if you can afford it. Otherwise the mazda speed hatches are nice
