Could always try a Suzuki Wagon R
Ok they are a grandad's car, but they are small, reliable, cheap to run & because they are normally owned by old people, they have been serviced regularly & very well looked after.
I am on my 2nd one now & if my son hadn't have ended up with a company car he was going to buy it off me.

NOT A KA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Corsa is probably the best way to go. I have a 1985 Honda Civic with only 39000 miles on, runs like a dream.

Fiat Puntos are supposed to be pretty economical. The newer ones that is.
