Small family car with good performance

I am looking for a small medium size family car must seat 3 kids in back, economy not an issue due to limited mileage. Performance and style important, £20k budget for used 2 to 3 years. Lots of city use with monthly longer journeys. Would quite like something fruity and fun.
