Buying a Fiesta-sized used car?

I downsized too far and while I love my Citroen C2 1.4 VTR I need something like a Fiesta (I have travelled in the back of one ). I believe the 5 door one with a 1.25 petrol engine would suit my use. Low running costs and reliability with a good balance between performance and economy are important. Fun to drive and comfort with a good sound system are desirables. Are there other 4 door cars I should be looking at? My budget is about £6000.

A 2008 - 2013 Fiesta (same body but without the Aston Martin grille) seems to have been the most reliable Fiesta in history. Very few faults for at least 600,000 sold in the UK alone.
