Fun new car

Looking for a new/nearly new car. Do you have any recommendations on both make/model and places to find it.

Ideally I'd like something small that will be easy to nip around town in but I also want something fast and with good handling, not just a shopping trolley.

Budget around 15k but could happily increase for something particularly interesting.
