Buying a new small car

I am looking to replace an 8 year old Toyota Yaris 1.0 3 door, which I've generally been happy with.

Am happy with the size and level of comfort, do about 10-12,000 miles a year and don't need 5 doors.

Can spend about £7-£8,000 plus whatever I get for my trade in (probably about £1700). What would be on your suggestion list? I don't want a lot gadgets, but do want reliability and safety.
