    A late mk1 yaris would be the best option if it's a small car your after. A good example should be got within budget.

    The mk2 Yaris (2006 onwards) is bigger inside than the 206, and cheaper to run. And more reliable too. You would get a 06 or 07 for your budget. My missus has one the last 2 years, with zero problems.

    My sister has a similar car for the last 5 years and it hasn't given her any trouble despite her not looking after it very well.

    The mk1 yaris is a far superior car to the mk2. It's a much nicer car than a fiesta too imo.

    would the opel corsa be a better car than the Renault clio?
