    Renault Clio or Ford Fiesta would be good ones. Toyota Yaris also.

    The problem with Fiestas in that price range is that the majority of them suffer from terrible rust - sills, arches, underneath, etc.

    Yaris would be the ideal choice but it's hard to find a good one for 2k. Clio would probably be the next one on the list.

    Corolla is I think the most powerful 1.4 under 100bhp at 95bphp.

    Just on the year, see the motors forums for some people having issues getting insured on a 15 year old car (myself included) so worth noting that into your choices too. Personally I think a Micra are a decent starting out car, don't tend to give much trouble either (Watch as I jinx them now).
