Advice for car choice please

Hi, I'd appreciate some opinions prior to looking for a car. I currently have a 03 Citroen C3 which was blessed to pass the NCT last year! I can't face another prospect of paying out hundreds again this May. The car has cost me over the years as it had a number of problems. What I'm looking for is small engine 1.2 and most importantly a reliable used car that will last a good six - seven years.

I drive to work Monday to Friday, return journey is approximately 14 miles. I rarely drive outside Dublin. I like the height the Citroen has, so would like something similar although fuel economy and reliability are most important. I like the look of Hyundai I20 or Ford Fiesta, although I am open to other options. Was thinking years 2011 - 2013, budget €10,000 approx. Would appreciate any advice...

Kia Rio is worth looking at too, it's the sister car of the Hyundai i20 so mechanically they are the same. If you are doing low mileage then the remainder of the 7 year warranty makes alot of sense. It's also nicer looking than the i20 imo.
