I live in Burgertown and I'm looking for a 2010+ hot hatch for a daily driver that I can also hoon or conefag occasionally. My budget is around $15-18K. From what I hear the Focus ST and the Mk6 GTI are probably my best bet. Can anyone who owns these cars tell me what its like to own, and possibly give a comparison between the two? And should I consider some other hot hatches, like the Fiesta ST or Mazdaspeed 3?

FWD conefagging rule of thumb: The lighter and the shorter wheelbase, the better.

Don't know how common they are in the states but a Mini cooper of some variation is a good shout, if you can get past the slightly odd interior they are much more fun to drive than a GTI or ST, can generally be found for reasonable money too

You should be able to find a good condition Mk7 GTI at the upper end your price point by now, and it's far superior to the Mk6 in almost every way.
I snagged a 2016 GTI S with 11k miles for $19k.
You'll want to go 2016+ if you want the MIB II infotainment with Carplay/Android Auto. Otherwise the 2015s are fine.
