OP said fun. Nothing mentioned about being reliable.

Focus ST - turbo fast fun

Civic - no turbo but vtak and gutless.

Fiesta - small

Except for the Type R, the last three generations of Civics have been characterless.
As much as I personally like GTis, I totally understand those that say they have become too civilized.

If it were just for urban driving I might think about an i3. But only if I never intended to leave the city in it.

Abarth was my first thought too

I dd'd a regular fiesta from 2010-2015 and with the extra power the ST would have been great. I really don't want a stick for a daily in Atlanta though.

It's small but are you driving people around? Mine was good enough for me and my daughter and if the whole family drove we took my wife's car.
