for the money and the age i want i'd be tempted by a clio 172, 182 is too expensive.

Out of your original 3, CTR by a country mile. To be honest I'd go with one. Had one from new for 3 years, did 87,000 miles in it without a problem. Never ever missed a beat so I'd recommend them. Not the quickest of cars (which hot hatch is!), and lack of torque is a bit annoying but the all round package is top drawyer.
