    Loads of options in the supermini catagory.

    Polo - more expensive but better image/build quality/reliability
    Citroen C3 - same engines as Peugeots, could get a semi auto i this I think with paddle shift on steering wheel.
    Skoda Fabia - VW parts, people don't like the badge though.
    Corsa - not highly regarded for the older model, new model not in price range
    Fiesta - loads about, cheap, pretty reliable, cheap to keep running.

    I like the new Suzuki Swift but may not be down in your price range yet.
    I beep for Robins - Beep Beep
    & Choo Choo for trains!!

    clio 1.5 diesels are good and in your price range. Cheap to run with £35 road tax.

    If you can push the budget a bit, have you considered a new C1, 107 or Aygo?
