What's the best car to share with a young driver, considering reliability and insurance?

What would be the best car to buy for my 19-year-old and myself to share? Budget is around £5000 and it would only be to use on short journeys. What would be the best bet for reliability, whilst thinking about insurance premiums for a young driver? Thank you.

It's cheap to fuel and insure. What's more, being a Toyota, it has a bulletproof reputation for reliability.
