Micra, Polo and Fiesta would be the most reliable in that class IMO. Micra and Fiesta would have cheaper repairs than the Polo.

With a €1200 car I would not go by a brand's reputation for reliability but rather judge each car on it's current condition and how it was maintained by it's previous owner(s).
