Best used small hatchback for £5000?
I am looking to buy a smallish hatchback with a budget of £5,000. So far it seems Hyundai i10 and Ford Fiesta are good picks. What would you recommend? It is to replaced my Mazda MX-5 MK2 so something reliable but fun to drive would be ideal.

A Mazda 2 1.3 TS2 is more fun to drive than an i10 or basic Fiesta 1.25 or 1.4.

Enjoyable and fun to drive. Economical engines. Sensibly priced. Feels well built. Ride harshness over bumps improved for 2011.

Sharper look for the updated Fiesta. Comes with Ford's award winning 1.0 EcoBoost three-cylinder.

Stylish and good quality interior. Roomier and more mature than its predecessor. Very refined for a small car. Handles well and good to drive.
