Small car woe - can you help us decide?

My wife has recently changed her Skoda Superb for a Peugeot 207 1.1L.

After a recent rear end shunt she has been given a Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L hire car.

This has highlighted just how awful the Peugeot feels, tinny, underpowered and archaic. She now wants to change cars but remain in a small car suitable for living in a city.

What would you recommend for budget of £5-6K ?
