Small economical car with good rear leg room

I need to buy a small to medium used car that is less than 3.5 years old for less than £10k and I want something that is all singing and dancing i.e. it needs to have leg room in the back for 2 adults. It needs to have a reasonable size boot and drop flat back seat would be nice in a hatch back or estate. It also needs good fuel economy (40-60mpg) and good handling and do 0-60mph in 10-12.5 seconds and not be crazy in terms of insurance grouping. Finally pretty would be nice e.g. small Peugeots are pretty and small Nissans are ugly and styling that reduces rear window visibility is a design flaw. Can you help?
